I have had a rash on my bottom for a while now, which has spread to my vagina. It is red, itchy, and I have a pale yellow sticky discharge. After sex, I felt a bad burning sensation that lasted about 30 minutes. I also have tenderness on my urethra and swelling on one side of my labia, which is uncomfortable. Could this be caused by a yeast infection or a side effect of the Monistat medication I took, or is it something else?

I have very bad pain in my vagina that stings and is accompanied by lots of discharge. The pain started on Monday and has been constant since then. The pain is sharp and stings.
