Light brown creamy discharge with no itching or burning, smells different/weird but not foul.. also im supposed to start my period next week. ?

Possibly Normal: This is possibly a normal physiologic vaginal secretion due to hormonal changes during monthly menstrual cycle. I am glad that you know the alarming signs to differentiate between normal & pathological discharge. Tips: Clean front to back for a good perineal hygiene. No smoking. Good luck!

Possible infection: Vaginal discharge with unusual odor suggests an infection. Suggest you see a health care provider for examination.
