Ingrown hair or what?

Okay so I discovered an ingrown hair on my vagina like a week ago. It was painful and I read online that you can pluck it. So I did (Yes, it hurt!) with sterile tweezers and then had a hot shower.
So a few days later I noticed like 2 or 3 bumps around the ingrown hair bump, which has now scabbed over.
I don't think it's an STD.
So my question is... do you think these are ingrown hairs and is it normal for ingrown hairs to scab over or get 2 more around it? They are not blisters, and they hurt a little to touch (just like any ingrown hair) and I'm embarassed to do anything with my boyfriend because I'm scared what he'll think.
Is there anything to make them go away? Sorry for the long post.

I got the same problem girl and I got them on both sides of my vagina one side popped and lots of blood and pus came out. Eww yeah gross then I got more bumps around it larger and sensitive to the touch. U can get relief by putting Vicks Vaporub or hot compresses hope this helps. :(

Go see your doctor and show them. You might have genital warts. You can get them even if you have protected sex. I know its scary but if you face the dragon and go to the doctor the stress will be gone and you get get the right treatment :) hope that helps
