Brief Answer:
If no itch it may not be thrush

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings
Need more details including picture .Are you sexually active?
If it is reddish without foul smelling discharge and itching it can be due to allergy .Avoid applying soap inside vagina as it alters vaginal pH.
Use neutral solutions like V wash .
If there is burning sensation while passing urine better to get an urine microscopy.
Feel free to ask your doubts with more details.

I am sexually active yes.
It’s only very mild sore when peeing, I’ve had infection in the past and I don’t feel anything the same.

It is sore where it is very red on the inside?
There is some white discharge but very little, I think it could be just the left over pessery.

I’ve attached a picture.
