I have been experiencing itching, burning, and swelling in my vagina. It started a few days ago and has remained constant for the past two days. The area looks red, especially around the vagina entrance. I am 25 years old, sexually active but haven't had intercourse in over three months, and there is no significant smell or discharge. What could be causing this and what is the best course of action?

I had a yeast infection and started taking vaginal suppositories called 'pHresh'. Since then, my discharge has changed to a white cream texture, which is different from its previous thinner consistency. The discharge has been constant since I started the suppositories. There is no noticeable odor, and my last period was regular. Should I be concerned about this change in discharge, and what should I do?
