Ok, I can't drive, I'm 17, I'm very
sedentary (I don't get out of the house
often) and I have controlling parents... I
think I might have gotten Genital warts
from birth and the more time passes, the
more certain I am of it.
I've had Bumps since I was 13 and I think
recently I saw a new one appear next to
the others, I have 5 of them, all between
1 to 2 millimeters large, they don't
scratch and they don't burst when I
squeeze.
Now I want to go to get them checked out
before they they end up destroying my
penis from multiplying. The problem is, my
family GP is a friend of my parents and I
would feel VERY unconfortable to get him
to check, I'd rather it be someone that I
don't see on a regular basis!
The problem is that I cannot possibly go
to the doctor without my parents not
knowing, first, they have to drive me
there and second, I don't live near a
medical center so I can't walk either...
Also, since I don't get out of the house a
lot, my mum would suspect something if I
suddenly decided to get out sometime...
I will have my driver's permit within the
next 2 months, but the problem is that, as
it seems to be heading, it looks like I'm
going to be working from home
So that means that I won't have much
opportunity to go out to the doctor
unnoticed.
Can someone tell me what I should do? What
kind of doctor should I see? What should I
say to the person at the counter? I don't
really want to tell them "Hi, I think I've
got genital warts, I would like to see a
specialist"
Then, on top of all these difficulties, I
have to pay the doctor, now the only way
to get a partial refund is to have my
healthcare card... The problem is that my
healthcare card is like a "family card"
meaning that my mother has it and if I
want it, I'll have to ask her and she'll
know there is a problem, and I don't want
to lie to her, I'm rather just not say
anything.
... Then on top of that, I have to deal
with the discomfort of having someone look
at my penis... And to me that's very
discomforting since I am still a virgin.
What should I do?
... It looks like I'll have to wait a
whole year before I can get it checked
(I'm going to college), in the meantime
I'm skrewed.
... Also, I've had them for 4 years now,
why aren't they gone? I heard they're
supposed to go away by themselves.
