According to the symptoms you reported (vaginal itching, soreness, white odorless discharge), you might be experiencing a vaginal infection. The vaginal infection might be caused by bacteria or fungi. Both infections might look similar: itching, soreness, feeling of flame, possible painful urination if the infection is spread to the urethra. A slight difference might be noticed in the smell of the discharge.
Since it cannot be determined what exactly caused the infection, and the treatment depends on the cause, you might want to visit your gynecologist for a physical examination and vaginal swab or smear. The results would identify the cause. In case bacteria are identified, antibiotics might be recommended, whereas antifungal medications would be recommended in the case of fungal infection. Please note, that these infections (especially the fungal infections) might be very resistant to treatment and it might need a longer period (possibly weeks) to treat it.
