Hi! I'm 16 years old, and I have a sore bump on my leg/vagina/inner thigh. It is really sore, even when I sit, and it kind of looks like a pimple. It was worse before, but now it is better. Is it possible to get zits down there? Or should I be talking to somebody? :confused:

I thought I would also mention that I have not been sexually active since July... but even still, no sexual intercourse. My boyfriend just fingered me...

Sounds like you have an ingrown hair

Is that good or bad?

It's not bad. It just means that your hair might be stuck under the skin. They usually look like pimples. Go to this site and you can learn all about them. Ingrown Pubic Hair - Six Tips (http://ezinearticles.com/?Ingrown-Pubic-Hair---Six-Tips&id=74)

It could also be a boil, check online to match your symptoms if you don't want to/cannot afford to go to the doctor, there is a cream called Boil ease which you can get cheap from pharmacies it is topical and should help ease the pain and swelling.

OK thanks so much :)

I've had a white bump on my vaginal area too. I got tested for an std and it came back negative so... my sister in law told me that it may be a boil.

WHERE is it EXACTLY. There is a duct on the lips called the gartner duct, right under your vaganal opening that can become clogged with a cyst called gartner cysts. They can be common, (I get them all the time) and usually go away on their own.


Either way, if this bump does not go away on its own or grows bigger, talk to your doctor about it.

Its very possible for it to be a pimple, ingrown hair, or boil as well.

Either way, though painfull, usually are not dangerous and will go away.

What is a Gartner Cysts? Are they white pus looking bumps on the vaginal lips?
