Go see the doctor asap! This is something that you should do instead of asking questions online! If you consider yourself mature enough to have sex - bare your responsibilities and visit doctor!

There are any number of things it could be, we are not doctors and even if we were we could not make a diagnoses over the web. For a diagnosis you need to see your GYN which I recommend you do.
IT is possible that somehow the poison Ivy migrated up your leg into your vagina; most likely during sex play. If it did then it is possible your boyfriend now has poison ivy. It is also possible that the condom was a latex condom and you are allergic to latex. Latex condoms are the most inexpensive condoms and these are the type that planned parenthood most likely would distribute. If they were lubricated condoms you could be allergic to the lubrication.
It is also very possible though coincidental that you have a yeast infection; which has nothing to do with the condoms or the poison ivy. If you do have a yeast infect you could try treating it with over the counter medication like Monistat. With your problem given all the possible variables I would suggest you see a GYN and find out just what caused the itching. Get tested for sensitivity to latex as for there are many products that you can come in contact in daily life that have latex content. If you are latex sensitive you need to know so you can be aware and stay away for it.
If somehow the poison ivy did migrate to your vagina it needs to be treated properly as it is now inside you. If it is not poison ivy then it is something else and you really need a doctor to determine what it is.
If you are over 14 you have medical confidentiality when it comes to your reproductive system. This means you can make appointments to see a doctor. To see that doctor with or without parental permission. Anything said between you and the doctor, whatever you are treated for cannot be told to your parents. Your mother cannot be in the exam room with you unless you invite her while your reproductive system is being examined. You can even ask for birth control pills and be prescribed them. This is all granted to you under a law called HIPPA which is a federal law. No one but you and your doctor will ever know what you are treated for unless you give the doctor a written release to tell anyone specific.
With this said there is no reason for you to not see a doctor. For this particular problem there is no way for mom or dad to know what you say to the doctor which is the reason this law was written this way. So that young people would be totally open with their doctor with problems relating to their reproductive health. All you need say to the doctor is you invoke your rights under HIPPA.
