Hello, I would be happy to help you with your questions.
It sounds like you had a common vaginal infection that was made worse by the remedies that you applied. In most cases, based on what you are describing, it is a vaginal yeast infection. You need to be seen by a doctor and likely treated for a yeast infection. STOP all over-the-counter remedies - less is more in this situation!
I hope that this helps and good luck!
