Hi
From the description, it looks like you have developed a candidal infection of the vagina.
Oral intake of antibiotics and immunosuppressive drugs can predisposed one to development of this fungal infection.
Make sure you are not on any such drugs.
You need treatment with vaginal pessaries and oral antifungals.
I would advise you to see a dermatologist so that proper examination and treatment can be done.
Such infections need to be treated on time so as to avoid any further spread.
