Sounds like a yeast infection.  CS will take care of it, but a vaginal
cream might work better (because it stays on).

IMO, too much soap is being used when washing underwear, and doesn't
get thoroughly rinsed out.  Only about 1 tablespoon of laundry
detergent is needed when washing clothes -- even greasy, mechanics
clothing.  Any more will leave soap in the clothes -- and the soap
will irritate sensitive body areas, allowing opportunistic infections.

Antibiotics won't work with fungus/yeast infections.
