Hi there. Thank you for posting on Ehealthforum. You are describing a bacterial vaginitis. This is very treatable and easily fixed but you simply must go and see a doctor. You may need swabs taken as accurate diagnosis is essential. Do not try and treat this yourself. Look after yourself and good luck.
