Weird bumps in pubic area of vagina

Hello and good evening! I'm 19 years old and a virgin. Well I don't know what wrong with me. For the past 3 mos. I've started to develop small/sm-med size bumps in the pubic area of the pelvic area. I don't know why. It seems as if it's some type of acne, because they do hurt and a few times pus seeps when ripen.
It can't be herpes because i've never had any sexual contact before.

Please help me!!!

Try washing the entire area thoroughly (avoiding the insides of the vagina as much as possible) according to the directions on the bottle - with Hibiclens. It is an anti-bacterial liquid soap sold OTC. Dry thoroughly and use fresh towels as often as you can. And stop wearing panties - I wear loose fitting boy shorts if i must wear underwear). This almost 100% solved my problems. I have one bump every three months or so now, where I used to have about 4-5 at any given time. Mine were as commonly described here; small to medium sized "knots", most began as looking similarly mosquito bite -esque, and most were able to be drained after a couple of days. Pus of varying colors, including yellow and green and also blood. I do have scarring as a result and I didn't discover this treatment until I was in my 30's, by a new doctor. I had visited several doctors searching for answers since it began. This is just what worked for me, and I would imagine it's worth a shot for anyone experiencing this issue. Plainly, it ***** and I'm not sure why it takes so long for people to find proper treatment and diagnoses when it's obviously such a common problem.

PLEASE HELP!!

I'm 14, not sexually active, and don't shave in that area. A few months ago I found a little red bump about the size of a pea that came up from the skin between my vagina and my left leg. It didn't hurt or anything, but I could tell it went under the skin. I've sort of ignored it since it doesn't really cause any pain, but the other day I squeezed it to see if it would pop or something and some puss and a teensy bit of blood came out for awhile. I still don't know what it is and I'm going to tell my mom about it and get an appointment with my doctor, but I'm kinda worried. Now its not raised anymore and it doesnt really hurt but i can still feel it under the skin. I really don't know what it is and hope someone can help. ANYONE PLEASE!!!!

Thanks

2 Things:

-You can get "hormone acne" down there. Painful, filled with fluid and won't pop. Maddening. You just have to wait for them to go away.

-Shaving down there. You will almost certainly get "ingrown hairs" that are painful and have pus. The pubic hairs are very large, compared to other hairs, and when you shave them the skin will frequently close over the follicle resulting in the ingrown hair until they can push through. It will also itch like heck when they finally start growing again.

This is why most people don't shave that region.

Help . I'm 13 and I started shaving...down thier. It was bigger than the razor bumps I already had and it had a white head. I noticed it in the shower today. There's only one though. What caused this? Will there be more?!?!?! I'm not a person with much acne I have little bumps on my nose but theyr not white heads and you can't see them...also I have no acne on my back so why would it show up there?!?!? I popped it too. Didn't hurt either....never had sexual intercoarse.. recently started masturbating...only on my clit though. Anyway , yeah why would this happen and will thee likely be more? Should I see a doc?
