Hello,

Welcome to ehealthforum

Your symptoms are suggestive of yeast infection and can spread to whole pelvis if left untreated.You require a thorough examination to rule out the exact cause and take the treatment accordingly.
Some suggestions:
Wear loose cotton undies.
You can use OTC available antifungal medications and apply them regularly.
Avoid douching,tampoon usage and any harsh chemicals.
Eat lots of yoghurt in diet.
Consider visiting a Gynaecologist earliest for examination and take the appropriate treatment regularly.

Take Care!
