Large bump near vaginal area?
So I'm only 16 and I have a re-occuring large bump near my vaginal area that hurts a lot when touched or rubbed. Its on the inside of my thigh and I'm worried I have an STD or disease? I've never had sex and it comes and goes but I'm getting worried. I don't like doctors so I'm too scared to go get this checked out. Could someone help me shed some light on this?
Hi,
It could be an ingrown hair if you shave down there, or a sebaceous cyst or maybe even bartholin cyst. These cysts are common and most of the time do not have to be drained, but if it is uncomfortable and painful, then a trip to the doctors may be in order. I've had 2 that have needed to be drained and it only took a couple minutes at the doctor and it brought instant relief. Since you've never had intercourse I'd say there's not a huge worry there for an STD, not does it sound like an STD by what you describe. Good luck :)
