Hello,

There is unusual vaginal discharge, itching, irritation, pain during sex, pain while peeing, light bleeding or spotting.
If these symptoms last for more than a couple of days, visit a gynecologist so they find out the cause and fingers out a plan for you. Like there can be allergies to understand, creams, condom, perfumes, detergents, douches. Thus, avoid them, apply Cortisone cream to reduce the symptoms, warm and cold water apply frequently.

Cold compression is best, apply some lubricant to avoid friction, for fungal infection you can add some local and systemic anti fungal cream, bacterial vaginitis can be there.
