your doctor has to do it for your own health. nothing you can say or do will change that your uncomfortable. you can't walk out, so you're just gonna have to grin and bear it.

Doctors are trained to look at patients in a non-judgemental way. They need to be able to look at you, of course; telling her about yourself isn't the same as letting her actually see you.
That's because you don't have medical training, so you wouldn't be able to recognize what's necessarily important for a doctor to know.
For example, if you have Lyme's Disease, there would probably be a flushed circular area on your chest. It might not be very red, and you might not have noticed it - you might think it was just a sunburn, or nothing at all. But your doctor would know that you needed to get a blood test for Lyme's Disease.
Now, the chances are good that your doctor won't need you to take off all of your clothes. But it's possible. And it will CERTAINLY be necessary in the future. So it's important to try to find a way to let the doctor look at you naked without feeling too embarrassed.
This is a matter of your health, so it would be a really bad idea to walk out.
By the way, if they DO need to see under your bra or panties, most doctors will let you take off your clothes in privacy, and leave you a backwards robe (maybe a paper one) to put on.
When they come in, they'll ask you to move the robe from the places they need to see.
Talk to your doctor when the examination starts. Tell her that you're nervous and self-conscious. I'm sure she'll do her best to make you feel comfortable. I can promise you that she has had many other young patients (and not-so-young ones) who've felt that way, too.
And remember, everyone is a little embarrassed about their bodies sometime. We've all felt that one feature or another of our bodies was odd, or strange, or something we didn't want other people to see or know about. But in almost every case, nobody else is likely to notice or care. When you're a teen, things look huge to you; a pimple is an enormous, horrible blemish. You feel as if people will stare, and point, and scream.
But your body is almost certainly totally normal, and your doctor has seen thousands of people naked. This is her job. She won't have any more feelings about seeing you naked than a veterinarian would have about seeing naked cats and dogs. :D
Really, don't worry. You're going to be fine. Just talk to your doctor, and do your best to relax.

Where the doctor looks depends on what you are going for.
If you are going for birth control or something such as that then doctor will have to do internal exam in order for you to get a prescription.
If you are going for anything else then none of those things are necessary. You simply tell the doctor that you prefer not to remove your clothes. It really isn't necessary unless you are having female problems.
