Swollen (sore) bump under skin by vagina

3 days ago I woke up without the bump, but throughout the day the area around the left side of my vagina became increasingly sore. It wasnt till i came home that i took a look at it. Its a hard pea-sized bump under my skin, and can be pushed around a bit. I was thinking it was a cyst, but is it normal for it to develop within 8 hours? I normally have a bit of vaginal discharge, but it seems to have increased the past few days. Any ideas for what it might be? I don't think it is an STD because i havent seen my boyfriend since the summer... so haven't had sex since then ( he has been my only partner). Worried because it came so suddenly and it hurts when i walk (underwear rubs against it).

Please when asking these questions, please provide accurate locations of your anatomy. Large single bumps located in the groin area or bikini line could be gland issues, cysts, or even a staph infection. Cysts or staph infections can bust on their own and eill have pus n blood. Still could require antibiotics. Have to see a doc get it drained and antibiotics.   Large single bump on the inside of the vagina lip are most likely ingrown hairs. No doc visit required, warm baths, warm compresses, and antibiotic ointment can help bring comfort.  Large or small or single or many bumps located in your vagina, like up inside, are most likely std issues requiring a doc visit. If any of these bumps make u burn when u pee, or bust, bleed and leave scars could be an std requiring a doc visit. Urinary tract infections or a yeast infection can do weird bumpy painful itchy burning sensations on all different places as well. A lip is not a groin is not a vagina is not a bikini line. Correct location descriptions are key to getting sound advice to your questions.

I developed a very painful bump about a day after shaving on the upper right side of my outer labia near the crease of my thigh. After about the fourth day of suffering, I applied some hydrogen peroxide to it, and the next day it finally had some white spots, like it was ready to burst. Thankfully it did about an hour later, and now it's slowly draining. I'm fairly certain the hydrogen peroxide helped bring all that pus to the surface. Ibuprofen works pretty well for the pain. I've been applying some Neosporin as well to prevent further infection.

I'm sorry to inform you but what you may have is the early stages of genital warts. These symptoms can be self rectified by a sitz bath but I would advice you go to your local GP about the issue.
