Say i'm a 13 year old girl who's vagina started itching out of nowhere. I mean it really burns and itches and it's driving me lunatic. I've had it for 3 days and i've tried soaking in a bath, wiping my vagina area constantly with a wet rag, putting ice on it, putting vaseline on it, wearing vagisil, and even tried wearing a pad just to see if it might work. I'm so confused and at first i thought i had a yeast infection but after looking at the symptoms, i'm pretty sure i dont have that and i looked at other vaginal infectons and they are STD's and i'm still virgin. I'm really scared and embarrassed to tell my mom. Can anyone suggest anything that will take my pain away that doesnt involve seeing a costly doctor or buying medicine which i'm pretty sure a 13 year old cant go out and buy by herself. =[
(old question)

What exactly is yeast infection? I've been itching lately, and I'm worried. I don't want to see a gynecologist, and I don't want to tell my mom. Are there at-home remedies? Please help.

it came in a tube and there's another stick do i just stick it up there or something? the directions arn't very clear and i live with all men for now b/c my mom and sister are on a business trip and i have a yeast infection.
