Do tell: Your doctor can't help you if you dont tell them. Please tell them. If you have trouble verbalizing it, write it down in a note, and hand it to the doctor at the next appointment.

No need : No need to be scared. Believe me, you doctor deals with things that are much much more difficult than social anxiety. Medication can help but often counseling can help get to the root of why you feel anxiety in certain situations. Being scared to talk to you doctor is probably part of your social anxiety and you won't be able to improve if you can't be open about it.
