Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum,
You should inform your parents about your symptoms. This could be suggestive of infection, chemical reaction (to soap or detergent), probable indication of your periods starting. Infections can be caused due to changing pH of vaginal secretions (hormonal changes) that can allow for infective agents to thrive well. The exact cause can only be made out after examining you and the vaginal discharge (that you describe). Inform your parents about your symptoms and request for visiting your doctor/gynecologist for further evaluation and appropriate treatment as needed (based on examination and investigation results). Drink plenty of water.
Take care.
