Hey, My name is Alana and well this is quite embarrassing. I'll start from the beginning, first off I am a virgin and I'm 15. This year when school started I haven't seen my boyfriend in over two months. So two weeks passed in school, the second weekend of school. I went to my boyfriends house and we ended up half naked from the waist down. We've been together for almost a year and I never had any sexual relations with anyone else other than him. I know he doesn't have an STD or anything but he has slept with 3 other girls before me :(... The only thing we've done close to sex was grinding naked. A few days after that my period came on, and the itching and burning began.

I'm scared I might have an STD, I've never thought myself to catch anything I'm always careful and never really sexual. But, the past week I've been itching, the itching cause burning and there is a small bump near my... anal hole but near the opening of my vagina. I've looked up some symptoms and It might be yeast infection. I told my mama about it, she gave me Vagisil to try for a week or two. If it doesn't work she will take me to the doctor. But, I need to know some other opinions. Help? :(

There are several that can come from skin to skin contact. So it sounds like it is worth having checked.

Yeast is indeed the most common itchy condition. It will often leave a white cottage cheesy stuff in your pants. Try the Vagisil and feel free to continue asking your mother. Another is trich (trichomonas), which produces a greenish stuff that is more like mucous. That needs a prescription. Neither needs intercourse to acquire. However, I wouldn't be grinding with a boyfriend who has had sex with others. You could get Herpes, which will last a lifetime. Do some reading online medical sites just by searching 'STD.' I'd be concerned about that bump being Herpes, but it is more common for bumps to be the result of all that skin contact rubbing and moisture. You can easily get bumps doing nothing at all.

Oh, and make sure you and he don't have crabs, which is just a word for headlice but in the crotch. They look like freckles and aren't easy to see.
