Could a 16 year old get tested and treated for a yeast infection without parental consent?

Dr. Kevin Passer answered

Yes: Although effective over the counter treatments are available and testing is not needed. Gyne-lotrimen is one of many products available. Also, a yeast infection is common and not a sexually transmitted disease. While teens are often embarressed to discuss stuff with parents, are you sure your mother would be anything except supportive of your health needs?
