You said you weren't sexually active when you started getting them. Do you shave? Ingrown hairs can cause pimple-like bumps that may puss when squeezed. Remember, that area is usually moist, and although the vagina is self-cleansing, the crevices can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Sweat and chafing can cause a lot of irritation. Also, some people get what are called sebaceous cysts. Which is basically an umbrella word for non-maglignant cysts(meaning it's not cancerous). They are usually flesh toned, and sometimes(but may not) ooze a foul smelling pus that's consistency is sort of like paste. It's usually caused from a swollen hair follicle. Your best bet IS to go to the doctor. I know it's scary, I have a fear of going, too. If you go and find out it's nothing big, you can rest your mind. And if it DOES turn out to be something else, your doctor will be able to treat you for it. So either way, you can ease your mind. It's better than freaking yourself out, right? Half hour at the doctors office and no more worries :) [ violet911's advice column | Ask violet911 A Question ]
