I would advice you not to use any soap locally as it disturbs the vaginal pH. Instead use lactacyd vaginal wash daily before bath. You can use clotrimazole and see if it helps as well

Hello,
Yes, it's really difficult to treat recurrent vulvovaginitis. Since its more than a year, I will suggest you to go for culture of vaginal discharge, as other species of candida other than candida albicans may be involved. Hope your blood sugar is within normal limits.
You may require long term suppressive therapy of more than 6 months but it's better that we look for the causes.
