Does soap irritation have the same symptoms as bacterial vaginosis?

I just recently had my pap smear done two weeks ago. My doctor said every looked normal. I asked him if i had bacterial vaginosis and he said no. He said i had no yeast infection either. I use dove sensitive unscented when i shower. I don't know whats going on.

    No - vaginosis causes discharge and an odor.  If you are using soap - stop doing that.  Something is causing irritation and that's the first thing to suspect.   You can apply a tiny dab diaper cream on the external parts to help get rid of the irritation.
