Large swollen painful bump on the outer lips of vagina

Since yesterday I've had a large swollen bump on the labia majora..it's very painful, it hurts to walk or sit.  I've been putting warm cloth on it and it seemed to help with the swelling but it's still really painful.  I don't really want to go to the doctor because I just don't have the money right now, and I feel like it would be a waste if it's something that I can take care of on my own.  Anyone else ever experienced this before? What can I do to ease the pain? All I've done today is lay in bed because it hurts too much to do anything else.

Hi, I need help. Fourth of July I noticed bumps on my inner leg right next to my vagina and it hurts really bad.. So I waited a couple of days and it grow.. The bumps are on both of my inner legs and even on my vag lips. I'm 16, and I'm scared to go see the doctor because well... I don't know what it is.  I tried putting on neosporin.. It just burns even more. I put Vaseline and it helps the pain but that's about it. I really need you guy help.

HELP!!
i am 12 years old and i have now over about 6 months had 3or 4 lumps.

The first one was a long time ago and i cant really remember it.
The next one was on my right lip close the my leg and it was red, painful and has puss.
The next one was a while after and only went down about 3 weeks ago, it was on my upper leg very close the my "secret garden" and it hurt to walk or touch it.
after a while im not sure wat happened to it, it could of burst or blood just came out because it got small and blood would come out of it and it hurt so much to walk that i had to put a bandaid on it so my right vag lip wouldnt touch it and it wouldnt hurt anymore.
I had to keep putting band aids on it for about 2 weeks and then eventually it stopped hurting and went small, its still there but it doesnt hurt anymore.
AND now just yesterday i realised i has ANOTHER one.

This one is quite big and its red.
it has a weird brownish coloured thing on top of it and it hurts to touch.

Im really scared that there is something wrong with me!
i havent done anything sexual in any way besides masturabating (dont tell anyone).

There is some other stuff im not sure about that might have something to do with it but im not sure.

When i need the toilet for some reason i have no bladder control at all.

I have peed my pants twice since 2010 and when iu need the toilet on the way home from school a tiny bit of it just comes out and i have no control over it.
I dont know why and im worried it has something to do with the lumps and im quite scared!

Oh and one more thing......i had my first period earlier this year, i think it might have been january or something like that. but anyway after that one i had another one at normal time when i was supposed to and i havent had one since, and its now july.

I know that they say that your first few periods may be weird or iregular but its been like 4 months!

Anyone who can help me please do i dont know whats wrong with me and im too embarrased to tell anyone or go to the doctor so any help i can get would be much appreciated.

remeber im 12...

Hi im 18, and i started seeing lumps in the walls of my vagina a month after having sex with my boyfriend. At first i though it could not be a STD because we use condoms but im not sure anymore :(. The lumps appear around my period time and disappear a week after under the skin but they dont fully go away. Every month they reappear and its very painful, i have been ignoring it for a year now but its unbearable. I cant tell my parents and im really scared...please help me
