Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It might be fungal infection also known as thrush. Other possibility is bacterial vaginosis. You can use Clotrimazole vaginal lotion (V- wash, is a popular brand). Antihistamines like Pheniramine can be taken for itching. If symptoms persist, better to go for a vaginal swab to make a diagnosis.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.
