Alright, so I know I've let this go on for too long, but I can't take myself to the doctor, So I guess untill I am 17 I'm goin to have to just rely on answers from you guys. I am 16 years old. Just a few months shy of 17. I was sexually active for about for about 6 months and alot of it was unprottected . In the last month i was active, after the last time i had sex, i noticed a bump on my vagina. i thought maybe it was a hemoroid and that if i left it alone, in time it would go away. but the more i waited, i noticed more appeared. this might sound gross, but i was looking at them, and when i touch them i can move them around. they are mostly at the bottom of my vagina, while some are inside, around the lips. They do itch sometimes, not alot though, and sometimes when i go to the bathroom and wipe to hard they bleed but not alot. I recently posted another post on my problem, and someome commented it and said it could be what i think is called molluscum  i googled it, and was brave enough to look at some of the pictures, and the bumps looked very much like the bumps i have. But i dont want to accept that its an STD. It just can't be. Aren't those not curable? I'm only 16. I have my whole life ahead of me. Cant this be something else? something less serious? it has to be. I've only had sex with one person. I dont understand if he had it, why this didnt appear much sooner. I started being sexually active in Febuary and stopped around july. i started noticing these bumps around july. it is now november. i know i need to go to the doctor but i cant tell my mom, she'd be mad at me. i've done alot to dissapoint her, and there are alot of things going wrong with our family right now, and telling her is not an option right now. what can i do? i cant go to the docter right now, because they would need her approval. and she reads my mail. so if i were to go to the doctor, they would want my address and they would most likely send something to my house. and if its from the doctors she will read it. i dont want her knowing. i want to take care of this for myself. but like i said im not 17 yet, and won't be for another few months. but back to the reason i am writing, can these be anything less serious then an STD. Can it be cured? i really dont know what to do and every day i think about this and wonder what to do. im just a kid, and i know i've made some stupid decisions. but i need to know that i wont have this forever. i need to know that theres something out there thats curable. i need to know im not the only one that is going through this. i need to know im goin to be okay and i can get rid of this and have a normal life again. well. i guess i'll end this here. I really need your help. what do you think it is? any ideas on what i should do? help. please?

thanks for all of you that help me.

it sounds like an std. you need to go to a doctor. whether you like it or not. some std's are curable while others are not. you should have worried about std's BEFORE you had unprotected sex...along with pregnancy. you may only be 16 but you are not suceptable from anything. you are not invincible. it ***** but that's life. so get to a doctor, get tested, get b/c and start using condoms. even if you are only having sex with one person, if that one person had multiple sex partners you're sleeping with their partners and their partners partners....so on and so forth.

Try going to Planned Parenthood.  I think they will treat you whether you are 17 or not.  Good luck.

Sweetie you should really see a doctor. If you cant go with your mom, go with an aunt or something like that. This is obviously an std.
I am not going to judge you for not using condoms. I understand how easy it is to throw caution to the wind. but next time, pls try to use one.
. Pls keep us posted.

hey sweetie....well you could always try a free clinic. they usually treat you without all that formal paper work...and u dnt have to be seventeen or have a parent with you but u need to see a doc ASAP....im 18 so i understand  how you feel about it being the start of ur life im jus startin mine and the mom thing i totally get.. im not sure if it can be somethin less serious but the way u descrided it and the pictures i looked at for molluscum it sounds to be it... research a free clinic in your area and call them soon..and honey... i been with my boyfreind for two years...he is the only person i have had sex with and he tells me i am his only partner also..i love him to death and i plan on marrying him someday...but i still use a condom... there is too much out there not to use one...his word sadly isnt enough in the society we live in these days... so start using one and ask him to come wit u or warn him he should check himself out or something...but use one please for me =) i wish you the best of luck...keep me updated =)
