Thank you for your answer. No signs of varicosities. Can the vaginal burning possibly be due to a bladder infection? i have no real burning while urinating, but I did treat a UTI a month ago and was never retested. Can a bladder infection cause chronic vaginal (only on the outside) and labial burning? Can the Boric Acid be making it worse? >
