Vaginal itching
I have vaginal itching since last 2 months. I live in US and visited doctor here and she did swab test for the infections but it came out negative. She also gave me diflucan and clotrimazole ointment which I used and cleared the itching but it again came back after 15 days. Now doctor is asking me to do vaginal biopsy. I want to know if I should go for it? Also I am diabetic and taking Metformin 1000 mg everyday.
