it sounds like thrush (over production of candida which is a healthy bacteria down there) it can get irritated due to sex,over washing or scented soap.
but it could also be a STD, so go to the docs or a clinic.
if not get some over the counter medicine (pill and cream) to sort out your thrush.

It sounds like you have a yeast infection. Go to the local drug store and ask for a something to clear up thrush. The medication can come in the form of a single pill (Diflucan) or as a cream you put in your vagina every day for a week. If after a week it hasn't cleared up or if you get a smelly yellowish discharge the go to the doctor for a lab test.
Next time you need to get a condom because you could catch something far worse than this. STD's can cause permanent damage to your reproductive system and obviously to your health.

Many std's can't get "washed" away. You could have been exposed to genital warts - no cure for, herpes - no cure for, bacterial vaginosis - no cure for (that fishy smell that will never go away). Even worse, you could have been exposed to gonorrhea, syphillis or HIV etc. No cure for means that they can be controlled somewhat but you will always have it. Soooooo, I won't bitch at you because there is no need. You'll be doing plenty of that yourself when you're popping expensive valtrex for the rest of your life. Get to the doctor and get some tests done. Sometimes catching things earlier causes them not to be as severe.
