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 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

I have a painful lump that turned up about a week ago, went to the doctors about it, and they gave me some antibiotics! They've not worked and its grown more and more painful!! Its got wat looks like a white head of a spot on it but when squeezed its unbearable. I can't walk properly it chafes on my under garments and is on the left hand side of my vagina. I'm going back to the doctors 2day!
