Swollen (sore) bump under skin by vagina

3 days ago I woke up without the bump, but throughout the day the area around the left side of my vagina became increasingly sore. It wasnt till i came home that i took a look at it. Its a hard pea-sized bump under my skin, and can be pushed around a bit. I was thinking it was a cyst, but is it normal for it to develop within 8 hours? I normally have a bit of vaginal discharge, but it seems to have increased the past few days. Any ideas for what it might be? I don't think it is an STD because i havent seen my boyfriend since the summer... so haven't had sex since then ( he has been my only partner). Worried because it came so suddenly and it hurts when i walk (underwear rubs against it).

Hello ladies well I've been getting these since I was 13 at least once a month so I know that it ***** well I actually have one rigt now that is right were my underwear is so that ***** but hot compresses help a lot and if any of you are familiar with the aloe plant what you can do is cut of a piece take of the skin and you're hyping to be left with a sticky goo, put that into the microwave for about 20 seconds it heats up really fast. You're gunna put that right on top of the pimple or whatever you wanna call it as hot as you can take it and put a hot towel over that. You should see shrinkage una few hours . Hope that helps somebody :)

Ive had this bump on the side of my perineum for acouple of weeks it almost looks like a cyst.ive tried squeezing it but it hurt really bad and nothing happened. but recently it turned black and blue. It doesn't have a head like a pimple would its more under the skin like a cyst.  Any ideas to what it could be?? Or how long i should let it go before i go to the doctors
