it can be a infection also you need to wear in the words "grandma panties" that are white and cotton. also you shouldnt be wearing tight clothes if you are or arent pergnant because the tightness near your thighs and vagina can cause a yeast to grow

It's possible it's caused by the tight clothes- your vagina needs to breath too, and keeping it all hot and un-aired leaves a good climate for bacteria and yeast to grow. So it's quite possible you're getting a yeast infection if they're so swollen and irritated. I would suggest finding good pure cotton underwear and staying away from tight jeans like skinny jeans which can hug the vagina too closely and see if it clears up.
