This is not a question but hopefully assistance to those who have reported issues with vaginal burning and small tearing on the outside of the vagina. I suffered from this for 2 years until after several gyn visits went to my regular doctor who gave me an oral anti-fungal pill to take for 14 days and it CLEARED it up completely!! I have been pain free for 2 months now- pls go see your gyn or your regular doctor and get an perscription. My gyn had been telling me to use creams on the outside of the vagina that were anti-fungal in nature but it was an internal thing that caused the pain and tearing. This worked for me and I had done all the things before this that I have read in the other postings - no soap, mild detergent - all of that and it had no effect or very little. We all have yeast and other things in our system and when they get unbalanced it can cause this type of reaction - I am so happy to have it cleared up so please check it out with your dr.
