It sounds likes this could either be Thrush, which is a build up of yeast that happens naturally in the body, it is not an STI and most women gets this at least once in their life. Your boyfriend would need to get treated for this too, as even though he will have few-no (more than likey no) symptoms, he can still carry it and it can even be passed on through condoms.
Or
It could be BV (Bacterial Vaginosis), which is the same as Thursh except it is the natural build up of Bacteria instead of Yeast.
Either way you will need to go to your doctor and get tested.
Both are easily treated, but can reoccure.
Are there any other symptoms?
Thrush usually also results in irritation, tenderness, and red, hot itchiness around that area, with a strong smelling discharge which is not unpleasent.
BV usually also has symptoms of a thick, white and fishy smelling discharge and tenderness.
(I've done my research on this for you)!!! :D

 This is thrush.
You will need to go to the doctor to receive antibiotics for it.
Try not to scratch it even though you may have the urge too.

 This could be a yeast infection. I think you should consult a doctor, just to make sure.
