I am a 29-year-old woman who has noticed a change in my vaginal scent, which has been a concern for about 2 weeks. The smell is fishy and has not gone away. I recently started birth control and have had unprotected sex with a new partner. I have had a light yellow vaginal discharge with a strong odor but no itching or burning. What could be causing this and how can it be treated?

Over the last few days, I've been noticing pain in my vulva after going to the bathroom and wiping. I noticed extra skin growing underneath my vagina that looks warty when clumped together, and I also have a skin tag on my anus that now looks like there are three. My vulva is swollen and the area looks darker than normal. I'm worried it could be cancer. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do?
