Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I read carefully your query.

Since you have used Premarin cream, vaseline ect and nothing has worked, I would suggest to consult a dermatologist and get examined.
Chronic skin conditions that can cause such symptoms like eczema and psoriasis should be taken in consideration.

Hope it helps.
Please feel free to ask for every question that you might have.

Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
