Brief Answer:
Can be due to dermatitis or atrophic vaginitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I can understand your concerns.
I have gone through your history and symptoms and it is most likely due to dermatitis or due to atrophic vaginitis.
At your age estrogen deficiency can cause atrophic vaginitis and estrogen creams are effective in these cases.
If it is due to dermatitis it can be treated with hydrocortisone cream.
Hope found useful, feel free to discuss more questions.
Good luck.
Regards
