I have used calmoseptine for a long time but it quit working. My Doc checked me for Yeast and it was not that Then I took a round of Fluconazole for five days and that didn't help. (for Fungus) Anybody know of something that I can try? Need help, very miserable!

You could try cortisone cream, but don’t use it forever - perhaps no more than 2-3 weeks. Good luck!
A short course of cortisone cream, your doc can prescribe a stronger one that OTC.
Plus you need to keep the area very clean and dry. Try warm baths one or two times a day, then blot dry and blow dry with warm not hot hair dryer. You just need enough water to sit in and only use baby wash for soap. When you go don't wipe. Rinse clean with warm water in a squirt bottle then blot dry and the hair dryer. I've been brought to tears with pain there, and have learned that gentle cleaning, staying dry, and a very light barrier (I use a tiny bit of petroleum jelly) is worth the extra effort.
Hi. I agree with girlunky about getting the area clean and dry. All of those suggestions are right on. I also use sensitive baby wipes and A&D Ointment, found in the baby isle. This ointment is a life saver for me!
Hope you find relief soon 😊
