Hello there.

I am 21 years old, I've never had sex, and I have yet to start regular trips to the gynecologist. I am kind of freaking out. Yesterday I felt a small bump under the surface of one side of my labia. This has happened to me before, I think it was a small cyst or something, but the other time it just popped and it went away. That was about a year ago, and this time the entire side of my inner labia is swollen, through to underneath the skin. It isn't hard or cracked, and it doesn't itch, I can't tell if it feels like it's filled with anything, but it is squishy, not hard. It hurts a lot when I walk, sit, or touch it. The other one I had went away in like 2 days, but this one feels bigger, and I'm not sure what it is. I am leaving to go back to college in 2 days, and I'm worried about trying to get a doctor's appointment before I leave, and I don't know who to talk about it with once I go to school.

Please help... I'm scared and I'm hoping someone might be able to share some experience with me. :'(
