Me and my boyfriend have been dating for almost 7 months we started doing things at 3 weeks into our relationship and we have been doing everything except for actually having sex and in the past two weeks I have had this itch in the area of the lips of my vagina and cottage cheese like stuff that comes from my vagina.it has also been sore. What is it? And are their any ways I can get treatment without going to the doctor?

Hello,
it sounds to me like you have a yeast infection. It's very common in women and it causes the same symptoms you're having - white/ yellowish discharge together with itchiness. The yeast that causes these symptoms is actually normally present in your vaginal area, but when your immune system is weakened for any reason, they start causing problems.
As far as the treatment for yeast infection is concerned, you have several options available over the counter - from Vagisil to Monistat. But, since you are sexually active (even though there was no actual sex) I'd recommend you to see an ob-gyn after OTC treatment, just to make sure everything is back to normal,
Wish you all the best, Nicole
