dont know what i should do...

[angry_kid]

first of all im not some lost little kid with no self esteem like i assume most of the people who post on this are...i actually think quite highly of myself.  in fact i pretty much think im the hot stuff.  im 16 and a half years old and a male.  im attractive and muscular.  i play guitar and sing in a band that toured the country.  i dance. im smoothe.  a real babe magnet...which brings me to my next point--i have one fatal flaw.  i am a virgin, and im relatively positive my parents dont have any stds.  however about 3-4 years ago i started to notice very small lumps on my genitals and penis.  they were unlike anything id ever learned about in health class, or read about on the internet (and trust me ive done research). they are not painful, and are filled with pus.  they are only on the bottom of my penis and all over my genitals, and the surrounding area is ever so slightly reddenned.   i never talked to anyone because of embarrassment.  and the fact that my parents dont trust me anymore due to my run ins with the police.  im afraid they wont believe its not an std.  i havent been to the doctors office in years and it doesnt look like im going anytime soon.  i felt like one of these might be able to help me

While I cannot help you diagnose what is occurring on and around your genitals, I can point out that you seem more fearful of letting your parents know that you need to go see your doctor for the problem than to suffer with the problem silently.  The issue seems to be that you fear that they will think you have an STD, related to the fact that you have this sense that they do not trust you because of your run ins with the police.  As that is the case, it seems that it is more important for you that your parents not think you have an STD  than to have yourself checked out and treated successfully.  I think one question to ask yourself is -- why?

I can understand why you wouldn't want to tell your parents - that's personal and embarassing for anyone, including adults to talk to a doctor about.  Thing is, you really need to get to a doctor.  I'd just tell my parents that I need to see a doctor for a check up and not say why.  Maybe they won't ask since you haven't been to one in a while anyway.  It probably isn't as you said an STD as you said but it still needs to get checked out and you will need some sort of medicine to get rid of it or it may just get worse.  If you REALLY don't want to tell your parents anything, maybe they have a free clinic around you could go to by yourself.
