    Question

    Hi: I'm 16, and sexually active. I have these little red bumps around my vaginal area, and a plantar wart recently showed up on my hand. The bumps are itchy. I also have discharge. Could i have an STD? Is there a health clinic that will check me without my parents knowing?

    Answer

    You can go to Planned Parenthood to get checked. Their website is: http://www.plannedparenthood.org
