Brief Answer:
sounds like a yeast infection
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, it does sound like vaginal yeast infection.
This is not considered a sexually transmitted infection and can be treated with over the counter medications.
There is an oral tablet option, this one would require a prescription from your doctor. It is fluconazole, only one tablet is needed for an acute infection.
The topical over the counter options are: monistat, vagistat, gynezol, gyne-lotrimin
The time period to use would depend on the strength that you obtain
If you going to use one of the cream, it is best to use at night before bedtime because will leak out and cause problems during the day.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
