I've had this severe itching in my gential area for about 4 months now, and it randomly comes and goes. It was gone for about 3 days, which is the longest so far, and so I thought it was gone, and I woke up today and it's been worse than ever before. All it is is itching, and I can't figure out what it is. I'm afraid to go to the doctor because I'm only 17 and I don't want my parents finding out anything. I haven't had sex in over a year, and I've only had it once. I had oral sex performed on me for about 1 minute in August. Anyone help?

Maybe an std?

Sounds like Jock Itch. Buy some creme at the store.

what can be done of your parents thinking that you have itch in the crotch area? you should be able to get to the local community doctor. should be some privates as far as your parents.

You can go to a health department or Planned Parenthood clinic or something similar and get free or low cost std checks. You can go and they are strictly confidential, meaning they cannot tell your parents. And contrary to what people say... std testing isn't hurt. Don't get me wrong, it isn't "comfy," but if you try to stay relaxed it's not bad at all. The worrying is way worse than anything the doctor or nurse will do to you. Anytime you have something irregular going on "down there" you should aways have it checked out. It doesn't sound like you have an std, but if for some reason you did, if you don't get treated for them it can make you very sick.
