Recurrent yeast infection within 3 weeks
I have severe itching inside the labia minora for the past 2-3 days. It is red and inflamed. Additionally, there's thick, white, curd-like discharge coming out. I haven't applied anything there and try to keep the place dry, cleaning with simple soap and water only. This is happening for the second time in 3 weeks. Not sure why.

Likely a recurrent yeast infection.
Stop using soap: Wash with plain warm water only to prevent worsening irritation.
Why it returned: Incomplete clearance, resistant strain, or soap-induced irritation.

Coming back twice in three weeks is the real issue here. Your symptoms do fit a yeast infection, but a recurrence this quick needs confirming, not treating blind.
Next Steps
Book a gynaecologist visit for an exam and a vaginal swab, so this gets treated fully this time.
Health Tips
Wash with plain water only, soap inside that area often keeps the irritation going.
