Question
I had unprotected sex about a week ago. And now I have these tiny white pimple-like bumps on and around my vaginal area that are really itchy and a fishy smelling discharge. Also there are red tiny bumps around my anus. I'm really freaked out.
Answer
Freaking out does not help. Make an appointment with your doctor or find a teen-friendly clinic like Planned Parenthood for an exam, pregnancy test, a reliable method of birth control, and please ask for the lecture about protection - using a condom to protect yourself from unwanted disease and pregnancy. Good luck.
