Brief Answer:
Yeast infection possible

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

This appears to be an yeast infection. This needs to be treated by antifungal medicines at a later stage if not cured by home remedies..

I suggest let her sit in warm water with antiseptic and salt for a week twice a day for 5 minutes. This will help in reducing infection.

I recommend using medicines only if the above method does not work.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Regards
