Vaginal tinning and burning at this age is commonly due to estrogen deficiency. As you have already consulted a gynecologist and local infection and lesions have been ruled out you can consider applying estrogen cream for a short duration and see if that works. You can also use intimate hygiene products when you are taking bath. Avoid applying regular soap / body wash. Always try to wear cotton undergarments. Keep your self well hydrated.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
