Painful lump on vulva?!?

[remy_097]

Hello. I'm a 14 year old girl and today while at school I noticed a painful sensation when I walked or sat down. I wore a thong today and it was rubbing my skin I believe. Anyways when I looked at my labia majora I noticed it was swollen and red. When I touched it I noticed there was a pretty large bump under the skin but no head. I don't shave at all there. It is about the size of a quarter and I am very anxious about it. Most websites say cysts should not hurt. Is that true? Has anyone else experienced this? I don't really want to tell my mom unless it's serious because our relationship isn't that great. Do you think it is just a boil or should I be concerned it is something more serious? Any help from you ladies is greatly appreciated!! Thanks so much

You didn't mention if you have been sexually active? If you have, you should have it looked at by a doctor. Maybe it's nothing, but better to be safe than sorry. Also, you can get pimples there. Typically the ones you get in that area resemble an ingrown hair. It's usually a single medium-large bump. Or it could be an ingrown hair. Even though you don't shave in that area.

I am a virgin and it a decent size and kind of swollen. There is no head though so it does not look like a pimple

I don't know about that but I really think u should tell your mom about it.  Even if u guys don't get along.  She'll help u through it and answer any question u have.  Don't hesitate to ask her about it.  Just tell her
