large painful bump near vagina

I have recently developed a large bump/lump near my vaginal opening, but it is not located on the vaginal lips. it has been there for 2-3 days, has grown in size, and it has become pretty painful. The bump is somewhat hard and appears to be under the skin, not a pimple like form with a whitehead. although when it was smaller and not painful i squeezed it and some white, puss like fluid came out. There was another bump on the other side in the same place but it was much smaller, not painful, and went away within a day. I do not believe it is an STD of any kind because it does not resemble any and i have recently been tested for all STDs after my new boyfriend and they all came back negative. i don't have any kind of abnormal discharge. could this be an irritation of some kind, or i was reading about bartholin cysts, but the lump is not located on the vaginal lips. I'm pretty worried and i know i need to make an appointment with my docter, but could you give me any help with this problem.

It is not a transmitted disease if you had no sex at all and you are a virgin. It is not herpes and is most likely an ingrown hair. But. I do suggest you either talk to a female about it or talk to your doctor. I'm  a 13 year old girl and have had these regularly. It is not strange to me but very painful as I have now the largest bump I have ever had right now. Thats why I was doing research and found this. I do suggest squeezing it but more importantly I do suggest pressing a hot towel or cloth on it and leaving it there for 10-15 minutes. It usually helps soften the skin and let it pop on its own. If not. You could try a hot bath and after 20-25 minutes you could squeeze it and see if it pops. I have yet to try the bath term but I will update if anything good happens with my bump.

You probably shouldn't pop it, I have read that it may cause infection. Apparently it may contain bacteria that could cause an infection

I have the same thing I have a large bump on the left side of my vagina its not in it but about a half an inch away. I feel thats its only getting bigger): im only 16 and im very self conscious about my body so I cant go to the doctor. I tried popping it and alot of blood and puss came out but its still really big): its really hard for me to walk, sit,bend, and spread my legs): idk what to do

I just had a pea sized bump come up on my right vagina lip... This was day 3. It was so painful I could barely walk straight. I went and got a rag as hot as I could stand it, placed it on the bump for about 15-30 seconds, took it off and as soon as I squeezed it, puss and blood started to drain from it...now I feel so much better...instant relief! Hope it helps the rest of you
