You have a yeast infection. Get some Monistat at the pharmacy.

As all the others have said it sounds like a yeast infection and you can and should see a doc for it, also you can purchase some over the counter stuff. The wipes are a good thing to have for any woman I used to buy them for the wife and daughter they help a lot. Also if you are given any kind of prescription some time those can cause infection that become very unpleasant, with those a good glass of cranberry juice one or twice a day helps keep the bladder cleaned out. Wipe from front to rear, not a good thing the other way and you should always wear the cotton panties they help absorb the moisture. Take showers not bathes, this way you are not sitting in your own filth to which has a quick trip to some areas better not go there thing. Good luck

It's probably a yeast infection, which won't go away without treatment. Since it sounds as though this may be your first, go see your doctor. He'll give you a cream. If you've had them before, you can buy Monistat at the drug store. You insert the medication into your vagina with a tube thing that resembles a tampon. But just don't wait because it'll just get worse and the itching will be unbearable!

You most definitely have a yeast infection. I've suffered through years of these. The best way to get rid of one is yes to get some monistat. If this is your first time around make sure that you get the 7 day treatment to make sure that it's gone. Also, for the itching and the pain make sure that you buy the monistat box that has the external cream. Instant relief!
Finally if you become prone to these, adjust what you eat accordingly. Limit your bread and pastas . . .eat yogurt . . whole books out that tell you what to eat to get rid of these things.
Good Luck!

Yeast Infection.
These suck not only because they are totally unbearable, not only because you have to scratch it all the time but it burns when you scratch, and not only because it hurts, but because the medicine is at least $20.
Go buy medicine and baby wipes. After you go to the bathroom or whenever it's itching, use a baby wipe! I swear by these if I have one. I've only had 2 before but I felt one coming on once and I just used a baby wipe and it went away.
Sorry :( It will go away in a few days with the medicine.

it could be a yeast infection. typically yeast infections have this white discharge and they tend to be itchy and uncomfortable. but the biggest give away for it to be a yeast infection is you'd have to have an odor (nasty one too)! so i can't tell you exactly what is going on down there, but there is an over the counter test (not pregnangy test) that you can take home and use it just like as you would with a pregnangy test, and then it would tell you what you might have. hope i helped!

A yeast or bacterial infection. They have a new test that you can buy at the drugstore and the yeast medication is over the counter and you need a Dr if it's a bacterial infect. and you want to find out as soon as possible if it is a bact. infect. that can create other more serious problems.

Most likely a yeast infection. Get Monistat or one of the many brands at the drug store for it, but if doesn't clear up see a Dr. it could be something else.

Probably a yeast infection. You can buy over the counter drugs (Monistat) for it.....generic brands work though and they aren't so pricey. Even if your unsure, the medication won't hurt you, but if it doesn't help it then you better go to the Gyno quick!

More than likely its a yeast infection. If you want it cured right away go see your Dr. They will give you 3 pills take them and it will be gone quick. The over the counter stuff works too but takes longer.
