In the US Monistat is one of several over the counter self treatment options for vaginal yeast infections. Your post doesn't give your location but is is likely available as an anti-yeast product in many countries.

As you suspected, candidal (yeast) vulvovaginitis is likely the cause. OTC Clotrimazole or Miconazole vaginal suppository and cream can effectively treat the condition.
