Hi again dear.
Good to hear from you, as always.
I sincerely hope , more fervently than you, that we get to the bottom of this.
A vulval biopsy is actually the last step, so that there is no more investigation beyond it.
I too have always believed that it is nothing infectious, no herpes etc.
It is a chronic vulval condition, I was thinking about vulvodynia, but it may very well be vulvar dermatosis.
The biopsy will tell us what is the case.
Let me know if the betamethasone helps.
How are the symptoms now ?
Keep me posted.
