Hello,

If the yeast medication didn't help, look up lichen sclerosis, sometimes that affects postmenopausal woman and can cause itching and pain. Usually, the skin looks like white parchment paper.

It is a good idea to go see a gynecologist to see if a biopsy may help with the diagnosis if it hasn't got better.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
