I agree, try an over the counter yeast infection treatment. You do not have to be sexually active to get a yeast infection... It could also be from sweating while playing soccer, you may want to see a dr if it gets worse... Good luck! :)

Go to the doctor you most likely have a yeast infection. Unless you haven't had your period yet, that is one of thet symptoms.
Read this:
What is a vaginal yeast infection?
A vaginal yeast infection is irritation of the vagina and the area around the vagina, called the vulva. It is caused by an overgrowth of the fungus or yeast Candida. Yeast normally live in the vagina in small numbers, but when the bacteria in the vagina become out of balance, too many yeast grow and cause an infection.
Vaginal yeast infections are very common. About 75 percent of women have a yeast infection during their lives. And almost half of women have two or more yeast infections.
What are the signs of a vaginal yeast infection?
The most common symptom of a yeast infection is extreme itchiness in and around the vagina. Other symptoms include:
Burning, redness, and swelling of the vagina and the area around it
Pain when urinating
Pain or discomfort during sex
A thick, white vaginal discharge that looks like cottage cheese and does not have a bad smell
You may only have a few of these symptoms and they may be mild or severe.
Should I call my doctor if I think I have a yeast infection?
Yes, you need to see your doctor to know for sure if you have a yeast infection, especially if you've never had one before. The signs of a yeast infection are similar to those of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) like chlamydia and gonorrhea. So, it's hard to be sure you have a yeast infection and not something more serious.
If you've had vaginal yeast infections in the past, talk to your doctor about using over-the-counter medicines.
Why did I get a yeast infection?
Many things can change the acidity of the vagina and boost your chances of a vaginal yeast infection. These include:
stress
lack of sleep
sickness
poor diet, or extreme intake of sugary foods
pregnancy
having your period
taking birth control pills
taking antibiotics
taking steroid medicines
diseases such as poorly-controlled diabetes and HIV infection
