Mosquito bite like bump on Labia majora. (Nervous reck, please help!)

I just realized that I have an tiny, itchy bump on my vagina.  It is located on my labia majora, under my pubic hair.  It isnt painful at all, but it is itchy. I dont think it is an ingrown hair because it is not painful.  It feels like a mosquito bite. What could this be? I am 22 years old and had sex for the first time about 3 months ago with my boyfriend of over a year.  I ruled out any sexual transmitted diseases because from what I know he doesnt have any, and if he did wouldn't sympotoms show after we had sex for the first time?  Also, if this helps, I just finished my period today and thats when I noticed the bump...and I just started using baby powder in my underwear, I don't know if that could have caused this.  Please help, I have a slight case of hypochondria, and I am worried I could have some kind of serious disease.  I know its probably nothing but someone please help!

It's probably a cyst! They usually go away on their own. I've had the same thing before. But you should go to the gyn if things don't improve.

I'm dealing with the same issue as we speak ...I have a small itching bump on my labia and its causing my clit to swell and if course it hurts from me picking with it. I had sex last Sunday, but its Saturday and the bump didnt appear until round 5 this morning. Not sure if something bit me while I was sleeping. Could someone help me rule some things out. Please !!!

Hello! I currently have a similar issue, except I'm 15 and never had sex in my life (virgin), so I've completely crossed out the possibility of STD's. I've been itchy down in the general area for awhile now and though nothing of it, about two days ago my left side was itching and only the left so I checked to see if everything was all clean down there and I discovered a bump, pea sized, red, hard, looks like it's under the skin, on my left the libia majora (hopefully that's the right term.) I don't shave down there, and it usually doesn't itch until the end of the day. I have told my mom and she just said yeast infection. Though I've been searching the Google for ages and have disregarded the pills she bought me sticking only to the itch cream, mainly because a) I hate pills and b) I'm not very uncomfortable other then the SLIGHT itching at night, sometimes it's sore to the touch and that's about it, I don't even notice it's there while I'm at school. Just kinda worried it's cancer or something only because I'm a complete worry wart when it comes to that sort of thing, from what I'm reading nobody with a similar issue has even suggested that. I've got a doctors appointment (just the annual one) coming up soon, but I don't feel comfortable bringing it up with my MALE, CHILDS doctor. But this was hard enough to bring up to my mom once, i really don't want to bring it up again. >.< Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi Aloise, Do you shave in that region or play sports often? It might be light irritation from razor burn or sweat. Also, where on your nether regions are you experiencing this since "vagina" is a pretty broad term?

Also please dont use baby powder in your underwear anymore!! Because theres a thing in the baby powder that was linked to ovarian cancer
