what is this??

I just went and got a pap done yesterday and i told my GYN about some bumps/cyst i have on my vagina  that  come and go every once and a while and he told me not to worry about it because its like acne on your face but its down there. I've never heard of having acne down there. But anyway, sometimes these bumps get so big they hurt and some even pop and puss comes out. I don't know if i should be worried or if i should look for another Doctor. If he would have noticed something a little off he would have mentioned it right? And these bumps come out  where the pubic hair starts, all around that area. They never go down to my vagina or 'lip' area. Plus,being pregnant now, they come more often.. but only one at a time. I never get more than one in the area.

he def would have mentioned something.   My boyfriend gets infected hair folicles and what your describing sounds right.  your probably getting them more now because your probably sweating more due to being pregnant. if they get painful put a warm compress on them to loosen them up.  DO NOT POP THEM! if they open on there own then put some neosporin on it

no i don't shave. I use to, a very long time ago... when i was much younger. But if he would have noticed something that didn't look right he would have mentioned it right?? I'm just scared and worried that this could be something more serious than just acne

It could be infected hair follicles or like the doc said, they are pimples, especially as it's starting the 'hair' area.  Do you shave in that area?

If you don't like your doctor's advice, then I would suggest you go and get a second opinion.
