Clitoral burning

Hi, I am 21 year old, sexually active. I have had inflamed clitoris for more then 2 months now. I have been to three doctors, been treated for thrush and bacterial infections even though the swab test results came out normal. I have also been tested for STD and cancer and all is normal. I usually get the burning in the morning and which gets worse as the day goes by. I have no discharge or pain during urination or sex. The only problem i have is inflamed clitoris. the clotrimazole cream helps with inflammation but not permanently. I feel am getting the burning feeling more often now cause of using this cream. But the burning gets so bad at times and since it's so helpful, i cant control and end up using it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, it's very depressing and is affecting my daily life greatly. Doctor's dont seem to know what it is.

There's a possibility that you are allergic to condoms. I had a similar problem when I learned that I'm allergic to latex. My significant other now uses lifestyles skyn. It has polyisophrene in it instead of latex. I haven't had any problems since we switched condoms.

I do shave, i thought that might be the problem. I stopped shaving for a few weeks but i kept getting the inflammation.
Also, i don't apply any kind of soap down there usually just wash it with warm water. But I'll try using the eve wash and see if it helps. I have also observed it gets worse after i use toilet paper, I've started washing it every time instead. May be it's just really irritated?

This happened to me twice and both times I dug around a lil and found a pubic hair stuck in there.  Do you shave down there?  That's when it happened to me both times.
