Hi, you need to meet gynaecologist first, if it is fungal infection,  can be cured easily. You can clean with lactacyd vaginal wash.

Dear Ma'am, You need to consult a Gynaecologist for a detailed history and a thorough clinical examination. In the meanwhile, please use simple vulval hygiene measures like avoidance of excessive soaps, perfumes, hair removal creams, keeping the area clean  dry,wearing loose-fitting and frequent underwear changes. Regards, Aditi
