Discharge that comes with itching is most often a yeast infection, especially when the two happen together and worsen over a few days. It is very common and treatable, though the exact cause needs a quick examination.
Next Steps
Please see a gynaecologist so the discharge can be looked at and the right treatment prescribed rather than tried blind.
Health Tips
Wear loose cotton innerwear, avoid scented washes and soaps in that area, and keep the skin dry.

White discharge with vulval itching that worsens when discharge occurs is most likely vaginal candidiasis (yeast/fungal infection) â very common and easily treatable. It is not a serious condition but needs proper treatment to resolve.
Next Steps
Apply Clotrimazole 1% cream (Candid cream) externally twice daily for 7 days. You can also use a Clotrimazole 100mg vaginal pessary at night for 3-6 days for faster relief. Wear loose cotton innerwear. Avoid scented soaps or products in the vaginal area. If the discharge turns yellow/green or foul-smelling, or if symptoms don't improve in 7 days, see a gynecologist. Consult me on Practo for further guidance.
