I hope you get some answers as to what is going on. The problem I had went on for months and was aweful. Some days were pretty good others were agony. Nights were definately the worst as I think when your trying to sleep you can't get past the irritation/itch to get to sleep. I had no fishy smell they talk about and no abnormal discharge. I also had not had multiple sexual partners and had been only with DH for the 8years prior (some Drs insisted it was only caused from an STI which isn't true) Eventually I found a Dr who knew what it was and said she expected to see me back frequently as it would keep reoccuring. Sex would make my skin bleed around the vagina and afterwards I felt like I was on fire down there. It would take days and days for the bleeding to stop. The pesseries helped but didn't clear it up completely. Diet definately altered the severity of it. Sugar would make it worse. Good clean food helped. I know of a few others who have had the same problem or similar problems and they swear by going to a natropath and using herbal tampons. I could not afford to go that way unfortunately.
I guess it could be any number of things. I had bacterial vaginosis and had no smell or discharge other then what is normal during my monthly cycle anyway. Strangely AF provided relief. My Ob actually told me it was an allergy from pads initially. A swab should give you some answers if the normal flora is different and that way you should discover how to treat it.
Definitely get a swab done, that should tell you if there's fungus/bacteria involved, it may be there are a couple of things needing to be treated at the same time. Otherwise, it might be an allergic/irritation type thing. Have you tried taking an antihistamine? Or, as someone else has suggested, maybe there are critters involved. Have you checked for pubic lice?
Definitely get a swab done and if that doesnt lead o a successful course of action possibly request a specialist referral probably dermatologist or even gynae
I was also going to suggest intestinal worms as they can make the area itch and with young children around they can be hard to avoid. Hope you get some relief soon
