Okay so my gynecologist thinks I'm having an allergic reaction to something, I've had irritation for two months he's done all the normal tests and nothing has came back positive. There is itchiness and discharge and some days it hurts worse than others it's very red and irritated, I don't know what to do about this. What my next step should be? Any advice would be helpful!

That's a fairly severe reaction and is often due to an allergy or more rarely autoimmune disease. I would recommend seeing a dermatologist. Allergy testing can be done in most offices for common allergens. A biopsy would probably give an idea leading to a definitive diagnosis.
The photo definitely shows a local reaction to something. You did not state what if anything your gynecologist has tried so far to treat you . I would try a prescription product called Lotrisone cream applied twice a day for 14 days and then stop. Also I would only wear loose all cotton underwear and not put any thing in your vagina for the full two weeks. If this does not help I would recommend a biopsy of the skin but this regimen has worked for most of my patients over the last 22 years. Good luck.
See your doctor and have her get cultures and sensitivities for bacterial, fungal, and viral infections as well as possible biopsy if it is not an infection. Also correlating it with exposure to condoms, nylon or cotton materials with regard to a reaction. This would help get a proper diagnosis as well as the correct treatment plan. Hopefully you will start feeling better soon.
