The main features of candidal vaginitis are severe itching in the outer vagina, with a typical cottage cheese-like discharge. The main feature of trichomoniasis is frothy discharge. It also causes itching in the outer vagina. All three conditions are specific types of vaginitis, caused by different pathogens.
