Brief Answer:
Gynecologist examination

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It seems like some serious infection or an inflammation of the concerned area so you should see a gynaecologist immediately so as to have early examination and diagnosis.
In the meanwhile avoid this coconut oil application which will not help and rather will only worsen the situation.
Avoid unprotected sexual activity and wear only cotton based undergarments.
Take care
Regards
