What Causes Smelly Discharge From Vagina?

My vagina smells like a fart which probably sounds gross and my discharge smells bad too I havn't had sex yet so it wouldnt be anything that has to do with that im thinking I might have bacterial vaginosis or whatever its called and I take an antibiotic for my acne called minocycline I was wondering if this would help it go away? But im only on it for three months and im on my last month and it seems to have gotten worse. I was also wondering if it is alright to clean it with soap like the Dial brand or if I should just wash with water which is what I do now either way I still smell bad and I dont know what to do and I dont want to talk to my doctor about it because im scared of how my vagina looks and smells. My labia minora are so wrinkly stretched and purple and its very embarassing I was also wondering if this is normal? Im fourteen just to let you know but I would appreciate it SOO much if you gave me the answers to these questions because im very stressed out about it and I really would like some answers to know if its normal or if I should probably tell my doctor...

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

Your problem is most likely bacterial vaginosis. Fish-like smell with discharge is the characteristic for that. I treat my patients of such cases with the combination of antibiotics like clindamycin or metronidazole with clotrimazole in the form of vaginal suppository or oral tablet. I also recommend them to use intimate wash regularly to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and pH thereby prevent getting further infections.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nishad BN
