First time teen needs advice

I just recently lost my virginity. I have had sex several times since then. Within the past few days I noticed a little itching and found that there is a what looks like very white discharge attached to the area around my vagina. Almost like normal skin in that area but white. I looked into a yeast infection symptoms and that doesn't appear to be the problem because discharge is normal. I really have no idea what it could be, maybe just irritation? Both he and I were, 100% any way you can be, virgins before we met and totally dedicated so STD's are impossible. I really need some motherly advice because it is impossible to ask my own mother. So if you have any ideas I am a very confused, and somewhat scared girl who would appreciate it. Thanks alot.

Hi honey - first, a few questions...

are you on birth control, or are you guys both using condoms? Better use something.

In any case... is it the SKIN that turned white? From what you described, it sounds like there is some discharge on the skin around the area. OK. maybe this is a yeast infection, and people do definitely present them in different ways.

In my opinion, go to a planned parenthood and get it checked out. At least that way you will know what it is...
