Welcome to A2A, awkwardteen. It sounds like it might a yeast infection (= a fungal infection: yeasts are single-celled fungi). These are quite common, and don't imply you have been having sex. You can get a cream for it without prescription at a pharmacy. There are some specially made for vaginal yeast infections, but any anti-fungal cream would help. There might be something already in the home medicine cupboard.
