Large lump/ boil on upper are of female genitals? HELP!

I am a 19 year old female, and I have an unusual set of symtpoms. About a month 1/2 - 2 months ago, I had a large, painful lump in my armpit, I assumed it was an ingrown hair, and it eventually popped after a weeks or so with much pressure applied, as it was getting very sore (it ended up about the size of a small marble) and some thicker/dryer looking pus came out.
I now have a large lump on my genitals, in the area above you vagina where hair grows. I do shave, if that matters. It started about 3 weeks ago out as two hard pea sized lumps with no pain, and I squeezed them once when it looked as if a head had formed, and more of the dry looking pus came out and they appeared to be gone. In the same spot there is now one large lump that is extremely painful and has been growing the last few days. It was veyr hard for the first day, with no pain and then the next morning it was squishy and very painful to barely touch. It looks a little purple like a blood blister.
I dont have any idea what this is or what to do! Please help!

sounds like an ingrown hair to me as well - I would agree with daisy700 - get it checked by a doctor, and don't shave.  It could become infected if it isn't already

u never have to squeeze lumps yourself.that will give u more pain and no solution.stop shaving now if its really big and kindly show a doctor,because without examining,u cant get a permanent cure from lumps.
