Hello,
The symptoms are more likely suggestive if infective causes like bacterial vaginosis or yeast infection.
Consult a gynaecologist and get a vaginal swab done to confirm the diagnosis. We have to rule out other possibilities also.
As of now, you can use clotrimazole lotion to cleanse your genitals.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
