Brief Answer:
Likely vaginal candidiasis

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
You seem to suffer from vaginal infection, likely vaginal candidiasis.
Antifungal cream and tablet fluconazole for relief is required.
I will suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist for proper examination, investigations including vaginal swab examination and treatment accordingly.
