I have just recently got off of the Nuva Ring (birth control), to be more precise it has been a little bit over a month since I've been off of the ring. I had my period 2 times in one month because of it and I was still able to recieve my period the following month, but after my period was over I had this strange red bump on the lower part of the outer lip of the vagina. The bump is at the very, very bottom of the lower lip where it is the smallest. I'm not positive when the bump first came about because I figured it was a ingrown hair or a pimple that would go away so I didn't pay too close attention to it. But this bump has been there now for a while perhaps 2+ weeks, and some days the bump is normal where it's small and looks as if it is going to disappear but then it grows and then shrienks. It might be because I touch it and then i stop touching it; when I don't touch the bump it doesn't hurt but when I do it is sensitive, it is not itchy, and it is red. It was smaller just yesterday but then I tried to hurry the process of its disappearance so I wanted to pop it but instead of it staying its size it grew bigger. The bump seems inflammed and irritated.

I know it is not an STD because I had a pap smear about a couple days to a week before it showed up and I tested negative for everything, so i know it isn't from an STD.

Is it a pimple that has become infected or is it something worse or is it just a pimple that i need to be patient about that it'll go away? I also don't understand what it is and if something is wrong with me I need to know. Any information will go a long way and help me greatly. Please any suggestions will be great because I really want it to go away and have my mind at ease....

It's definitely a pimple...at least it acts like one. SOmetimes it takes ages for pimples in this area to go away, ingrown hairs included. I usually combine antibiotic powder during the day and hydrocortisone at night to make them go away.

a very common STD is HPV which can not be found by std testing and is found in almost 80% of those sexually active, This virus causes little bump like warts and is undetectable except can be noticed by bad paps but not always. You should definatley check it out. Could be nothing but better to be safe then sorry. Always wear a condom until you know for sure.

i am 14 years old and i am NOT sexually active but the EXACT same thing that is happening with whoever said "i also have a lump on the outside of my vagina. mine is rather large red and very sore when i walk or touch it. i keep thinking that its cancer plese help me out" is what is up with me! its a lil bigger then lets say a pea. sorry if you dont want to hear this part but it also hurts when i insert a tampon. whatever this lump is, its very VERY irritating! i gathered up enough courage to tell my mom tho, she says id better go get medical attention. im scared to death! anyways im here with you ladies.
P.S.(PLEASE HELP ME! IM AFRAID IT WILL BE EMBARRASSING TO SHOW A DOCTOR!!!)

Just to clarify for everyone who says they don't have an STI because they had a pap smear. Unless you specifically request to be tested for STI's you are not tested for them what the Pap smear is looking for is abnormal cells on the cervix which can lead to a detection of cervical cancer. If your doctor is not taking more than one swab you aren't being tested for STI's
