Possible intertrigo: This is likely intertrigo, a heat type rash in skin folds. First, keep the area dry by blow drying after a shower and liberal powdering.
Then, try 1% Hydrocortisone cream 2-3/day, and if that doesn't help, try any over the counter anti-fungal cream. Balneol is also good for this type thing.
Btw, it is not your vagina, but your vulva that is involved.

Examination: At your age the first step is to schedule a visit with a gynecologist. An exam will be done to determine what extra skin you are referring to. You may be identifying normal anatomy. It is important to show the doctor what you have noticed to identify if everything is normal or not.
