I need to find a clinic for STI and STD testing..
I have a pretty heavy rash on my groin. Nothing big. It hasn’t burned, it just itches and I know where I could’ve got it from. I know it’s not serious, but I just need to know if or how I can get rid of it without that much trouble.
TL;DR - I’m looking for a local clinic that will diagnose a solution for my groin rash. What do I look for as far as a doctor title and what kind of clinic and all of that?

Where were you?
You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
you can just go to the health clinic. it is free and they will test you
Yeah, but I see all these clinics around my area that don’t say “Health Clinic” and the ones that do are a gawd-awful long drive away.
do you have a regular doctor? just tell your parents you need to go for a check up
Is the rash only on the groin area ? Or is it also on genitals aswell ?
It was on the shaft for a few days, but it’s gone back to just being on the groin and now is receding.
Im not sure but do hospitals here run an STD clinic within them ?
If you look for the phone number of your local hospital, you may find a listing of clinics or offices dealing with STDs Im not american so Im not sure of the protocol here.
What would be the point of an STD clinic? I know regular general health clinics will look at me and test me, but I’m getting all sorts of answers when I google “[my town] health clinic]
I do, but my parents cannot know about this.
Ah ok thought so…you need to talk to an American hon, Im really not sure how you can do it without mum and dad knowing, are you on their insurance ?
Probably. But I guess I’ll find another way around this. I have friends that I can talk to you. Thank you for your time. :]
your welcome hon, just dont leave it ok, make sure to get the treatment, and remember the big C word next time :-)
Why not buy a test over the internet?
They have home STI and STD test kits you can buy. I’ve never used one so I don’t know how accurate they are, but I guess if you’re trying to prevent anyone knowing, it’s a safe way to go.
Or, ask your parents to make you an appointment and just say it’s something else? If they know you’re sexually active just tell them you think you might have an allergic reaction to condoms or you’ve been having really bad pains or something. I think if you’re over 18, hospitals and clinics can’t release you’re info to anyone except you.

Maybe that can help a bit.
If you have any more symptoms you can add/delete stuff for more accurate possibilities on what it could be. :]
Hope that helps a bit.
the doctor cant tell your parents anything, unless you are like suicidal or something
http://yourstdhelp.com has a list of free std clinics across the US. You just enter your state.
