NO CLUE WHAT THIS IS!!!

after freaking out about i bump on my vulva, and thinking it was herpes, i have been assured that it is not. and probably an ingrown hair...but i just have one problem,

everytime i wash down there the bump seems to reduce significantly in size, almost like its going away...but then i wake up the next morning and its back to the same size it was before i showered! this happens every single time, and the bump has been there since thursday (6 days).

does anyone have any idea what this is? and why it keeps on going down and coming up again?
also, i have never had sex before.

if you read our read before posting post on this forum you'll see that we ask that you just keep adding to your original post instead of making new posts each time. thank you for your future cooperation with this.

you can have cysts and you can have skin infections. it's been a week now so it behooves you to be seen today or tomorrow for this for a proper evaluation.

Its more than likely exactly what you think it is. When you wash it seems to have gone down because more than likely it does. When the bump buss and the puss comes out you probably wash it away so you can't see it anymore. I'm not quite sure but I do think its only an ingrown hair bump. Don't be worried about it. Esp. since you're still a virgin.
