What Does Dry And Ashy Genital Area Indicate?

Hi. I recently discovered that the outside of my genital area looks ashy. No bumps or itching just dry and ashy. I also noticed that I m discharging more than usual. Sometimes thin and white and others clear mixed with white with a jelly like texture. Before heading to my doctor what could this possibly be so that I may know what to expect.
