Crumbly light yellow vaginal discharge

Hi. I am 22 yrs old female. It’s been almost a week I’m having weird vaginal discharge. I can feel the discharge and when check… There will be a light yellow patch on my panty liner. If I insert my finger to check… My finger will be covered with crumbly yellow thingy… I’m afraid if this is a sign of STD or STI. It’s making me feel really uncomfortable. And since yesterday night, I’m having lower tummy pain and my feet hurts as well. I’m confused.
