Hi, I've been having itching and blisters with puss in them down in my vaginal area and I need answers. I'm too scared to go tell anyone, and I don't like having a doctor looking in between my legs. So if I want this to be treated can I just get something from the store or do I have to suck it up and just go get checked at a teenage hospital?:confused:

Go get checked because that doesn't sound good, be safe rather then sorry and please don't have anymore unprotected sex until you have this sorted out.

If you have one in your area, I would suggest going to a Planned Parenthood. There you can have a gynecologist check you out. Whenever I've been there, they have been patient, and very kind. Also, they are women, which is definitely a plus (it also helps to ease the tension). Another plus is that after you leave, you can either give them your home phone or your cell phone number as a contact number, and you can ask them to say they are calling from "school", "the doctor's office", or some such, so that when your Dad answers the phone, he doesn't get "This is ____ calling from Planned Parenthood. Is ___ home?"

Also, please note that if they ask you any questions at all regarding your sexuality (ie, if you are sexually active, etc) you need to be honest. From the sound of it, you may have and STI/STD.

Goodluck-

You definitely need to get checked out it kind of sounds like genital herpes but I am no doctor so that's why I say you should definitely get checked but here is some info on herpes to see if it sounds like what you have :
Genital herpes is highly contagious and caused by a type of the herpes simplex virus (HSV). HSV enters your body through small breaks in your skin or mucous membranes. Most people with HSV never know they have it, because they have no signs or symptoms. The signs and symptoms of HSV can be so mild they go unnoticed. When signs and symptoms are noticeable, the first episode is generally the worst. Some people never experience a second episode. Other people, however, can experience episodes over a period of decades.

When present, genital herpes signs and symptoms may include:

■Small, red bumps, blisters (vesicles) or open sores (ulcers) in the genital, anal and nearby areas
■Pain or itching around the genital area, buttocks and inner thighs
The initial symptom of genital herpes usually is pain or itching, beginning within a few weeks after exposure to an infected sexual partner. After several days, small, red bumps may appear. They then rupture, becoming ulcers that ooze or bleed. Eventually, scabs form and the ulcers heal.

In women, sores can erupt in the vaginal area, external genitals, buttocks, anus or cervix. In men, sores can appear on the penis, scrotum, buttocks, anus or thighs, or inside the urethra, the tube from the bladder through the penis.

While you have ulcers, it may be painful to urinate. You may also experience pain and tenderness in your genital area until the infection clears. During an initial episode, you may have flu-like signs and symptoms, such as headache, muscle aches and fever, as well as swollen lymph nodes in your groin.

In some cases, the infection can be active and contagious even when sores aren't present.
