Brief Answer:
visit gynecologist urgently, cancer or infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
This excessive foul smelling discharge at your age is an issue to be taken seriously because most common reason for this can be cancerous growth in your genital tract or some severe internal infection.
In my opinion you should have an appointment with a gynecologist as soon as possible.
Till then you should change your underclothes twice a day, use cotton based innerwear and always use a pantyliner which are readily available and drink a lot of water.
Take care. In case you have other questions I will be happy to help.

Hello mam, this redness is probably not related to your vaginal discharge. Best is get yourself examined by a gynecologist and rule out cervical lesion.
