Extremely itchy labia near vagina, no discharge

Ok, so I've been putting up with on again, off again itching for months on my labia, near my vaginal opening. Never "diagnosed" with HPV but I did get rid of a suspected wart this past year. Can you have a bacterial infection without discharge? It drives me CRAZY sometimes, the only thing that calms it is gold bond ointment, which is minty and refreshing but I'd like no itch. No "rash" that I can see, unless I give in and scratch. I take cranberry supplements to keep me flushed out for a UTI, which I was treated for last year. My doctor is unsupportive, and unhelpful-told me was due to regrowth from not getting waxed. I just want some facts to arm myself with before trying the doc (new doc) office again.

Any suggestions?? All you cooch experts feel free to speculate.

I've had this problem for many, many years.   Oxyclean and Spray and Wash and other spot cleaners were the problem for me.    I had been using Seventh Generation clothes detergent and thought I was OK.   So I had to stop using these products and then get the remaining products from my underwear.     I soaked my underwear in Seventh Generation detergent, vinegar and baking soda and let it set for awhile, then rinsed over and over again.    The itching went away almost immediately.    I got a pair of underwear out of my drawer that had not been treated and the itching started again.   It has taken about a week for all the wounds to heal but now I am very sure what the trouble has been.

what were you able to end up eating. Vegetables and meat?  I really think my issue is sugar/diet related.
