a little nervous

Hello,  I am 21 and sexually active. I am a little concerned about two bumps that i have in my outer region of my vagina (labia majora). At first i only had one on my right hand side then the next day another appeared on my left. They are parallel to each other. I don't know what to think of it because because of two reasons. They aren't common this is the first time i get them and they are bumps under the skin. Two, is because three months ago I got my clitoris area pierced and i have sensitive skin so i am wondering if i am having a allergic reaction to the piercing. The bumps don't hurt unless i put extreme pressure on them like squeezing for example. what could it be? what should i think of it?

Are the bumps anywhere near the piercing? If so, then the bumps are possibly the result of scar tissue build up as a result of the healing process from the piercing. If they're not anywhere near the piercing; then, maybe they're nodules or benign cysts which sometimes develop in the oddest places in the body... even down there. If they're cysts, and by your description, they could be, they eventually go away over time... sometimes several months. But, if you notice that they aren't going away after a period of time, grow, become more painful, or if you develop more... you may want to have them checked out by a doctor.
By the way, if you had a barbell style stud placed in the piercing, maybe the skin contact with the metal balls is irritating you and creating the bump formation... are these bumps parallel or touching the stud/ ring? If so, it could be that allergic reaction that you mentioned.
