Hello and welcome to HCM,
Itchiness, formation of red rash on vestibule, clitoris & labia minora can be due to fungal infection.
White colored discharge that you are seeing could be due to white colored discharge associated with fungal infection.
A clinical assessment will be best to determine the type of lesion.
However, till then you can try an anti-fungal ointment locally.
Response to an anti-fungal ointment proves the infection is fungal in nature.
If no response is observed after using an anti-fungal ointment, then you need to consult your gynecologist.
Till the infection is clear, avoid unprotected sex because it can transmit the infection to your partner.

Thanks and take care
