Hard reddish purple bump on groin area - HELP PLEASE

I'm 15 years old yesterday I found a small hard bump, dark red in colour, along my bikini line.It gives me some discomfort when moving as it rubs against my thigh and vagina.  I don't know what it is and I feel really uncomfortable talking to someone about it. I've never had sex or done anything like that either.

Can someone explain what it is please and if there is anything I can do? I really need some reassurance, I've jumped from a million conclusions (dramatic teen).

Hi, Cheese.  I know this is an embarrassing thing to deal with, and I don't know what it is without seeing it.  Please show it to your mother or another trusted female adult.  She will be able to determine if you need a visit to the doctor or if it can be treated at home. - Blu
