Hi loveex, the vagina has a very delicate bacterial and PH balance and with the effect of soaps having differing PH levels, it can affect the normal vaginal PH level and may lead to imbalances in the bacteria levels.
The soap may irritates your skin. For the vulva, soap can be quite traumatic. Firstly, for girls pre-teen and early teens, this can be the first warning sign for soap vaginitis and UTI's. Before puberty, the mucosa can be very sensitive, and it can easily become irritated when it comes in contact with soaps. Many women have sensitive mucosa that can often become inflamed and irritated by the presence of soap. Much like soap can remove oils from your skin and cause irritation and dryness, soap can strip the vulva of it's natural oils as the vulva is naturally moist. This can cause significant irritation and it should also be noted that soaps can cause vaginal dryness which may become an issue if one is sexually active.

First of all, what does the discharge look like? If it is white and cottage cheese like, then yes it is a yeast infection. Get an over the counter external and internal vaginal product for yeast infections. Also, you are not supposed to wash your vaginal area with soap for just such reasons. If you think it is your soap, go back to your original soap. If you want a quick fix, go to your Dr and get Diflucan, it is a 1 day y.i. treatment.

Could be an allergic reaction to the body wash but I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.

could be an allergic reaction, stop using that body wash and go back to whatever you were using before then compare :)

it is probably a yeast infection but you should probably go to the doctor to be sure.
