Vaginal Itching, Discomfort
17/f. My vagina itches extremely bad, the discharge is sometimes but NOT always clumpy and white, and when i go to the bathroom, toilet paper sticks to my vagina and it seems as though it makes it itch more. What's wrong? I made an appointment for the gynecologist, but it's so irritating and it's hard to deal with. Is there anything i can do to minimize the itching until i get to the doctors?

Oh no, Sounds like a yeast infection.
My gf had it. Well, ex gf now. Lol.
The problem with yeast infection is that it keeps coming back, and it's really wise if you could go see a gp immediately. What my gf used to do was to keep the area clean as often as she could, which means going to the toilet every two hours or so, giving it a good wash and it might help to use panty liners right now.
Try not to use soapy products, as it might agitate it further. But if you must, use mild soap. Those scented feminine wash makes it worse, so you might want to avoid that for the time being. :)

Honestly, this could just be simple irritation. Have you recently changed your soap/body wash? That can play a huge role when dealing with problems down there. How about swimming...have you been swimming in a pool lately? Chlorine can cause an itching effect, also.
Most likely your gyno will tell you that you have a yeast infection, which they usually give you an antibiotic for. Until then, you should get a vagisil cream to ease the itchiness. Also, avoid strong scented soaps, body wash, ect..you don't want to irritate it anymore. One more tip is using baby powder. Just sprinkle some down there--it should also ease the annoying itchiness!
Hope this helped-Good luck (:
