It sounds like a Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) infection. You need to see your doctor for a anti-biotics treatment.

This is normally caused by upsetting the vagina's pH balance (douching, perfumed sprays, perfumed soaps, sticking something into your vagina that upsets the pH balance). Remember to clean your hands and sex toys and rinse it well with normal hot water before playing. And do not wash your vulva/vagina with soap. Just normal clean water. Your vagina cleans itself so it does not need any washing inside.

Vagisil Creme can help stop the itching but will not cure it. You have to see your doctor for that.

Best of luck!!

Yep it does sound like bv as i have had it to although i didnt have itching...with the itching you mention it seems like you have thrush a bacterial yeast infection again nothing to worry about you just need a pill and cream for the itching and you can buy this over the counter without seeing your doctor....jenny
