Painful bump popped near my vagina

I'm very worried about a bump of some sort near my vagina area. It has grown for about 2 or 3 days and it hurt whenever I touched it. I am 15 and I was about to take a shower when I was feeling around the area and the bump popped. It was bleeding a lot and still is but less profusely. I do shave the area, though. I am really worried about this and it would relieve me so much if there was a way to treat it and what it is? And, if it helps, I have never been sexually active with someone else.

Hi, if you shave that area, it might be a ingrown hair. Sometime when shaving it can have open pours and dirt can get in and they can be vary big spots. Sometimes they can be very painful if there is a hair inside and can still stay lumpy. But I would chat to someone about it if it is still bleeding or sore to rule out anything. Don't be worried but it is best to ask someone.
When it popped was it like puss from a spot and was there anything inside???

Hello there,

I would strongly suggest that you have your family doctor look at it.
If you feel embarrassed about telling your parents or caretaker, tell
them you think you have a yeast infection and that you need to see
your family doctor. I wouldn't put anything on this until a doctor has
seen this. Infection could be a possibility so get it seen to asap
( as soon as possible). I wish you well. Don't wait. Start the
conversation with your parents or caretaker. Eve

How big was it?  What was the drainage like?  More sebum or yellow pus with blood?
