Kanxiety

Hello, I am having some symptoms that are starting to cause me some panic. I have an OBGYN appointment in a week, but am really starting to stress that there might be something seriously wrong.
Almost a month ago, I started getting some vaginal irritation. I thought it was from using pads because my period had just ended and I never usually use pads but I did this time. It went away when I went out of town, but came back when I returned. When it didn't go away fully in a couple weeks, I tried using a soap with aloe to wash it with. But then the next day, I started getting pain while urinating. I went to the urgent care. They didn't listen to anything I said about the irritation and they diagnosed me with a UTI and gave me antibiotics. I started to use them, but didn't see any improvement in the pain. Then they called me and said I didn't have a UTI. I started panicking and called my mom to talk to and she said she had actually been having pain too. And it was the exact same kind of pain, although she hadn't noticed any irritation. We went over our similarities and there were two, we had both gone to a cabin the weekend before my irritation started and the second one was that we both had bought a couple weeks before and were using the same body wash. We determined it was the body wash, and I immediately stopped using it and threw it out. That was two weeks ago. I started feeling better a few days later, but then I started getting irritation, then a week ago, my partner and I went out of town for the weekend, I started feeling a little better, then I got my period and I was feeling a lot better. Then my period ended, a few days ago, and the irritation came back. Not only that but I'm getting some discomfort when peeing and I have been having a vague feeling like I may or may not have to pee and I can't tell. I think I had that before some too. I don't understand why it's getting worse again and not going away. I feel like if it was the body wash, it would be better now.
Has anyone had this kind of experience? It's driving me crazy. Could stress cause it? I'm moving states in a four days, doing a 3 day road trip with my fiance and dogs and it has really heightened my anxiety.
