lumps and bumps couldit be cancer?

Hi, im 18 and not sexually active.
About 3 weeks ago i felt a pea sized lump on my vagina and just yesterday there was a kind of dark purple puss filled bump which was above the skin but there is a lump below the skin. it busted and it was filled with bright green puss and then came blood,  it was also painful.
I'm so worried that it might be serious and I'm to embarrassed to go to the doctors. I haven't told anyone else not even my mum.
PLEASE help me, give me some advise on what i should do.

ok relax. I've gotten these every once in a while. it could be either three things. One, it could be an ingrown hair that busted and will clear up now in a day or two. Number 2 it could be a growth, a small mass that comes and grows and can either burst and clear up in a day or two also or just go back down and disapear. Or 3 something else that may need medical attention. Most likely is not cancer so put that out of your head. Dont be embarrassed to see a dr because trust me they've seen everything and things you wouldnt imagine. You can wait a day or two and if things clear up then it was nothing, but if you choose to wait and start to feel worse or see other symtoms, you must def get seen ASAP. If you're really worried and dont want to wait to find out then def see someone ASAP. I'm sure all is fine but please let us know how it went and if you're ok.
