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).

I've had the same thing right were my inner thigh meets my vagina and it kinda seems like it moved up a little but today it feels like a blood bluster, it drained and started to bleed but there is still a pea sizes clump under the blister and I have no idea why it's like that.

Someone help me please. I'm super freaked out. I have a lump under my skin on the top left side of my vagina lip. It started as alittle pea size and I gave it two weeks and at first I was putting heat on it but it felt as if it was making it bigger I left it alone and notice it was startin to get swollen.  I'm super terrified of shots/ anything to do with that or them cutting it at the dr so I prefer advice also, it's embarresting. Any thoughts or suggestions to help?

They come and go with me, not very often, maybe once a year, but it does go away on its own. I have it now and it is like a hard pea beneath the skin that hurts when pressed. I have no STDs, as it has been years since I have been with a man, and I have been tested. It is in the inner part of the labia where hair doesn't grow, so it has nothing to do with the hair. Our body is science. Give it a few weeks and if the problem persist make an appointment with your gyno.

Do you shave down in that area?  I get them as well,  they are just ingrown hair..  The follicle gets messed up somewhere and then forms a hard cyst like bump,it hurts, but just leave them alone:) nothing to be worried about.

It could be a boil from an ingrown hair just compress it with a warm cloth for about ten mins every hour for several hours or have a sitz bath three or four times a day for a week max to relieve the pain from the boil, usually boils disappear within a few days or a week dont try and pop it yourself because it can cause it to become infected but if it does I recommend you see your doctor about it. I have the same problem and Im embarrassed to go to the doctor and to tell my family so Im just going to stick with the warm/hot cloth and bath and wish for the best lol
