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

Most often it is due to fungal infection or sometimes due to bacterial vaginosis. You can go for a vaginal swab to make a diagnosis. As of now, try Clotrimazole vaginal lotion and start on Metronidazole. If symptoms persist, you have to consult a gynecologist and get it evaluated.

Wishing you good health.
