Lump under skin in vagina

Tonight I was shaving and I found a lump under the skin inside my vagina. It's tender and can be rolled around. I'm freaking out pretty bad. What could it be?

I found a lump on the inside of my vagina and I m sexually active I've only been with one person. The lump is freaking me out! Its kind of big and it came out of no where I recently went to the doctor and they checked me for STD. I had got an infection from my partner called Chymidia he didn't know he had it and he was my first but I wasn't his.. anyways my doctor didn't say anything about it but maybe a couple of days ago I noticed this bump and I have no idea what it is and its scaring me please help I need advice.

Oh....and it's not visible. You have to feel it and press on it to see it.

It's not an ingrown hair. I KNOW what that is. It's quite large to.....bigger than pea-sized.

Whoa I totally just had that! I have been shaving down there a lot recently, and one day I was shaving and I noticed a bump. It was small--like O big, and it felt just like a round bead under the skin that i could see. It was also tender. It lasted maybe 2 weeks or so, going down after about a week, and it is gone now. So maybe ingrown hair like Daslicht said, that was just irritated by you shaving it.

could be an ingrown hair, they can cause lumps quite big. but if it can be moved around it may be some kind of cyst. i get those on my wrists and they're called ganglion cysts. they run in my family
