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).

I was so scared. I just found it near I guess what you call the wall of the vag. Its like pea-sized and you can move it around a bit. I hope it's normal because this never happened to me before. So it could be a cyst ?

I'm 14, I havnt done anything sexual, Tonight like 20 minutes ago I went to get changed into my pj shorts, and I noticed I had a medium sized lump in my private part area, to me it looked like a really big pimple, so I tried squeezing it, nothing came out, I can also feel it underneath my skin, I don't know what it is! I've put Fusidic acid cream on it, but I dont know if that will help!
I'm actually freaking out because I havnt had sex or anything like that before and I don't want to have a STD. Please please please help me!!

I have the same thing right now! It hurts really bad! I found when I was camping and I had been using a lot of public bath rooms. So I did some research and I found out that. I didn't get a std from that. And I am not sexually active and I've never been touched down there. And every where I look it says it is probably just an ingrown hair. Any advise on what to do to make it go down and or stop hurting????? Help I'm in pain
