I strongly suggest you visit your gynecologist and explain what's happening. I'm sure he/she will perform an exam and the appropriate tests.
What your describing sounds abnormal so please do not delay having it checked out. I'm not a doctor so I can't hypothesize what might be going on.
And as far as your fear behind possibly having an STD as well as your Mom's reaction should the exam disclose positive, perhaps your aunt could speak with her and inform her that it is a reality that she must accept and constructively and realistically embrace, as it doesn't validate that you had sex.
It is understandable that your mother is entirely correct to not want for you to be sexually active, and I also agree, however it is equally important that she support you should your STD exam come back positive. Bashing and lashing never cures a thing.
Again, please see your gynecologist immediately before the conditions and worsens and so that you can move forward in your future with appropriate treatment(s) should the positive endure.
Either way, keep your head up, your smile wide and wait until your of appropriate age to be intimate!!! You're just a Baby Sweetie...
Have a Merry Christmas and I hope Santa gave you the slamming fat hookup!!!
God Bless.
