                                    Brief Answer:
Most likely due to vaginitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Sorry for delay in my response.
With your history and symptoms it is most likely due to vaginitis( infection of vagina) due to bacterial infection ( bacterial vaginosis).
Are you having any type of Vaginal discharge?
Is there any odour in discharge?
Usually fishy odour and yellowish green discharge there.
You can consult a Gynecologist and get yourself examined and Vaginal swab culture done and take antibiotics ( usually metrogyl and doxycycline ) accordingly.
Keep the area dry and clean.
Wear cotton undergarments.
Take healthy and balanced diet low in carbohydrate and high in protein.
Never douche, not use perfume and soap.
Hope it is useful.
