As per your symptoms they have relation with yeast infection but we can't confirm it without any vaginal swab. Hence have a vaginal swab done to confirm/exclude yeast infection. If it is positive for yeast infection ,doctor will prescribed proper treatment for it. If it is negative ,than tour symptoms may have relation with contact dermatitis . Hence for both diagnosis may have effect : Sitz baths for 3 to 4 times per day Add more water in your diet Use cotton underwear And use over the counter external creams
All the best
