Hi, I'm a 15 year old female who has never been sexually active.
Ever since I was 14, some lumps have appeared in my vagina.
-They're not painful, only a bit uncomfortable when touching them.
-They have no discharge (although I've never tried 'popping' one as you would with a zit.)
-They're about the size of half a pea
-They usually last for 1-2 weeks and then disappear completely
-They usually appear near the labia. More specifically, in the skin outside the vaginal area, and also close to the anus. (I think the area is called labia majora)
-The most I've had are two at the same time, but it's usually just one.
I'm really scared of going to a gynecologist because, well, I'll be immature and say it's embarrassing lol. But I'm scared it might be HPV or something like that (I've been reading online, and some sites have said that it's not always sexually transmitted)
I'm really scared, any advice?
Thanks in advance
Sounds like a cyst since it goes away. Fifteen is a good age to make a visit with a gynecologist, to do a exam. STD's are from sexual contact, so you shouldn't. Be sure you read online sites that are from medical professionals/organizations/hospitals.
