Hi,
From your history it seems that you might be having bacterial vaginosis.
Go for vaginal smear test to find out specific organisms so that we can about specific treatment accordingly.
Keep local hygiene clean, dry and airy.
Clean local part daily with running water while taking bath.
If your Gynaec advices go for treatment of both the partners.
Ok and take care.
