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.

I have the same exactly thing only this is my first one ever. And it's on the left side. I showered on Monday and it wasn't ther but when I went to the bathroom about an hour later there was this large to the left of my vagina and it hurts to touch it, sit, spread my lags, squat, bend over, and wipe when I go to the bathroom. As long as I keep my lower body in one position it doesn't hurt, or be up and walking around. And if I sit down on a cushioned sit like my grandma's leather recliner I don't feel anything.

You should probably talk to your mom about this. More than likely it is an ingrown hair or something like that. You dont want to wait until it possibly gets infected. Since you have never had sex, I am sure that it is NOT a sexually transmitted disease.

There are more reasons for bumps, irritations, boils, etc on the vagina than just herpes. Women do get bumps there that have nothing to do with herpes. I am a nurse in an ER, and we see these all the time. You have probably just scared the crap out of alot of girls who read your post looking for a solution to one of the most common female issues.

Last year after vigorous sex, I got a pain in my inner vagina wall that felt like a pulled muscle, after a few days it got more and more painful and swollen. It was unbearable after about 4 days so i went to the dr and while he examined me the swollen area burst and oozed puss and blood. He gave me a course of anti-biotics, however he didn't explain what it was. I have now got the exact same symptoms, again after vigorous sex, and I was hoping for some tips or explanation, as my doctors surgery is far away and I literally can't face sitting on a bus then walking to get there, I literally cannot do anything without extreme pain. When I stand up, sit down, walk and even cough. Please please help :(
