Hey im 15 and im in the same situation. I can you that it probably is a yeast infection. And can tell you right now that yes its scary and or embarrassing to talk to your mom or doctor about this but its the best thing. I have a doctors appointment soon and im going to bring it up because it has gotten worse. Don't let it come to a point where it bothers you a lot like me; don't be afraid to talk about it with your mom or doctor because a lot of girls in the world actually get yeast infections and the sooner its treated the better. Ill tell you how it goes at the doctors to give you some insight.

well i go to the doctor each year for an annual check up and I just remember that doctors have seen it all which is why you shouldn't be afraid because they're just looking out for your health. And if there is a free clinic near by you can go there without your dad and ask for them to see if you have a yeast infection. Also, having a yeast infection is not your fault at all and you could just ask your dad to take you to the doctor because of female issues or you think it's time you see a doctor for a check up.
