Hello,
The symptoms are more consistent with infective causes like yeast or bacterial vaginosis. Consult a gynaecologist 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 queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
