hard lump on

A few days ago I went to the bathroom and when I wiped I felt a hard lump on the right side of my vagina. I didn't really think anything of it, thinking it would go away, but it didn't. The lump is very hard and doesn't move very much. I'm only 16 and I'm afraid to tell my mom because I'm embarassed. I'm not sexually active and there's a history of reprductive ( i cant think of the word because im an idiot. ) cancer in my family.
Should I go see a doctor?

For your safety you must get medical attention. Being embarrassed is nothing compared to risking your health. If the lump is hard as a rock seek attention quick. Even though you can't move the lump around it may still be just a boil. Research boils at www.webmd.com. Still talk to your mom.
