    Could be a yeast infection or bacterial vaginitis. Sometimes sleeping with a new partner can to an imbalance of good and harmful bacteria that are normally found in a woman’s vagina. It can upset the balance of bacteria in the vagina. I would definitely go to the doctors and get a panel of test done to make sure it’s not an infection. I don’t see anything wrong with your labia.

    Looks normal to me. But itching is not normal. Starting to have sex or starting with a new partner can cause thrush (yeast infection). Do you have any thick / milky discharge? Also - did you use protection?
