Even if you have never had sex, there is some possibility that you could have an STD. If you have ever had oral sex or come into contact with someone else's genitalia in any way, you could have caught something. The disease your symptoms sound most similar to is genital warts, which can be spread on contact, even without penetration.

I would strongly advise you to see a doctor. You don't have to tell your mom all the details; just tell her you have some irritation in your vulva. She probably won't assume that you are having sex, as there are other things besides sex that can cause irritation.

It is quite possible that this will turn out to be nothing. While it is possible to catch an STD while still a virgin, the odds are fairly low. Don't worry yourself too much--but do see a doctor.
