Health Clinic: This has to be treated with antibiotics. The laws of your state should allow you to be seen without your Mom. The health department may be cheaper or free. Be checked for other STIs; they often go together. Always, always condoms. Not every infection can be cured. All the best.

Be seen ASAP!: Your local county health department or nearby planned parenthood can help you for little or no charge. In most states they will not need to inform your parents since this is due to a sexual health matter. You really need to get this diagnosed and treated because it can become pelvic inflammatory disease which can make you very sick and even sterile or possibly kill you. Go today!

STD: Many cities have STD Clinics that are capable of providing free services. Recommend that you have no sexual activity until you get medically checked.
