 I think you need to tell your mom and go see your doctor.. Not that this has to be serious, it is just that if you try self treatment you might treat yourself for the wrong thing and still experience discomfort. To me it sounds like an infection, but not a urinary one or a yeast infection. The urinary infection, as you seem to be aware of, burns and stings like no tomorrow and causes pains. A typical yeast infection itches like you had 30 mosquito bites down there and you swear you could orgasm if you were just able to itch it... What I am saying is that it could very well be a yeast infection, but not one that Im familiar with. So I am not sure if the regular treatments you can buy without prescription will help you. Also the strange looking discharge and the bumps you describe don't match up with what I am familiar with (and now Im only talking personal experience here, I am no doctor).
So, talk to your mom, these problems are common feminine issues that happen from time to time, and your mother has without doubt experienced problems down there herself and will understand what you need. I recommend your mother taking you to the doctor/gynecologist.

you could try visiting your local drug store or chemist, and purcahse antifungal cream over the counter, that might help.
or best thing is to visit your doctor.

 We can give some great advice on here, but this sounds like something you'd need to ask your doctor. We couldn't possibly know. Better safe than sorry when it comes to your body! No harm can come from seeing a doctor, but harm can come from ignoring something.
