Hello,
Very likely you are having a yeast infection. You can take local cream such as miconazole cream to apply twice a day on the skin that is red and itchy for 7-10 days and in the vagina you can use clotrimazol ovules one at night for 3 nights.
I hope this answers your query and is helpful to you. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
Regards,
