    Question

    Im 14 years old and i have never been sexually active.. i have been fingered by my boyfriend tho. Then i started to get little white bumps all over my vagina which look like pimples or zits, they hurt really bad? and when i pee it burns.. do i have an infection? how do i treat it. Im scared to tell my mom because she will be really mad if she finds out what i have done with my boyfriend. please help

    Answer

    Call your doctor's office and ask the nurse if at 14 your mom will be told if you come in. IF not, make an appointment and get yourself there. If so, tell your mom you need an appointment and tell her why - and hope she helps you get healthy before she explains why she is mad or disappointed. Your health is important - do not ignore your symptoms! Being sexually active (and you are) is a responsibility.
