Hello,
The symptoms are more consistent with infective causes like yeast or bacterial vaginosis. Consult a gynecologist and plan for a vaginal swab to confirm the diagnosis. As of now you can use Clotrimazole lotion to cleanse your genitals.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.
