Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic

Judging from the description vaginal candidal/yeast infection is likely; itching is a symptom in yeast infection.
Bumps or sores on genitalia are indicative of Genital herpes, however, this possibility need to be ascertained by a physical examination.
The lesions in genital herpes are usually multiple, well defined, discrete, painful and are easy to diagnose on physical examination. PCR may be ordered for a confirmatory diagnosis if doubtful.
I suggest you to visit a sexual health specialist for a confirmatory diagnosis as well as appropriate treatment.
Testing for other STD;'s like Syphilis, HIV is also recommended.

Regards
Always practice safe sex with a condom!
