Hello!
This dry flaky skin seems like eczema/irritation. Scratching can worsen it. Try using an over-the-counter 1% hydrocortisone and apply it twice a day, till you wait for an appointment to see a doctor, in case it doesn't go away in 2 weeks.  Moisturize it often as well, to help you scratch less. Vaginal discharge is normal most of the times. If your vaginal discharge is yellow, gray, or green, has a clumpy texture like cottage cheese, or has an abnormal odor then there should be concern as it can indicate vaginitis or any sexually transmitted disease. Consult a doctor. Do keep us posted.
Take care and regards!
