Brief Answer:
Yeast infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

This is typically yeast infection of vagina. You need to start antifungal treatment with medicines like monistat. You might also need vaginal pessaries to treat the same.

I am.not sure if these are available over the counter at your place. You might need a prescription if not available.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
