Question

Hi. I just saw a discharge in my panties now, it's like a white cheese. I'm worried about it, because I never had that before. I'm 19 years old and I have itchiness in my vagina.

Answer

Chances are good it is a yeast infection. Ask the pharmacist for something over-the-counter, and then if it does not go away, see your doctor.
