What Causes Swelling And Itching In The Vagina?

I think I have a yeast infection, but I m on my period so its hard to tell. My vulva is super itchy and when I scratch it burns. It also burns when I urinate, because of the scratching. My vagina is also swollen and when I looked at the area it was extremely red and inflamed and there was also some discharge about the opening of my vagina. What do you think? Please help. (If it helps I m 14)
