Bump on vagina... am i okay?
im 17/f in march i found this tiny painless bump on the opening of my vagina hole. it was colorless didnt hurt when i touched it basically it was there but still worried me. the thing is i didnt think it could of been an STD because me and my boyfriend have been going out for 2 years and we have never had sex with anyone else. but was always on the back of my mind that it could of been an STD but how? anyway that month i had to go to the gyno anyway and i asked her about it she looked at it and told me not to like pop it and such because its always dark and wet down there that it would never heal. so i didnt i was to scared to. she said it was nothing but if it got bigger and hurt to tell her. some info. me and my boyfriend have sex almost every week couple times a week when im not on my period. well now this bump i noticed this week after being on my period hurt but i thought that oh i wore pads all week long it could be like a rash wich like happends lol. but now that everytime i wipe it hurts just that bump and i look at it and its still colorless but a little bit bigger then it was and when i touch it it's hard and it hurts just when i wipe or touch it. im really scared and i feel like i cant tell my mom because shell just think STD im sure and think the worst basically i dont know how she will react and i dont want it to ruin me seeing my boyfriend. i figured id wait till the next time i go to the gyno to tell my doctor and test it out. but i want to know the possibilites that it could be. im freaking out and i just might be going to my mom about this but i just dont want her to know my personal sex life like o this bump is beacuse you guys had sex so much you got a blister lately i feel like i cant talk to anyone i was surprised i could bring this up to my boyrfiend again. i just need help. i want to know if im okay or tell someone soon.

Hi!
I saw that you said you already had gotten the HPV shot.
Did you know there are over 100 strains of HPV?
Did you know the shot only protects you from 4 of those strains?
Genital cancers are caused by HPV strain numbers 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51. Genital warts are caused by 6, 11, 42, 43, 44, 55 and some others I'm not sure of at the moment. Other different strains of HPV are also responsible for warts on the hands and feet, a scaly skin disease, and even an oral infection that causes masses on oral mucus membranes.
The four strains of HPV it helps prevent are numbers 16, 18, 6, and 11. Strains 16 and 18 cause cervical cancer and 6 and 11 cause genital warts; however, there are many other strains that cause the same thing and that are transmitted the same way.
You are still at risk for quite a few strains of the HPV so you cannot rule out genital warts. See your doctor.

You absolutely NEED to go back and see your doctor.
Tell your doctor that it's began to be painful.
If you didn't before, let your doctor know that you ARE sexually active.
This sounds a lot like a wart from a strain of HPV to me. There is no tests to find out if guys have HPV. HPV can be picked up ANYWHERE, including from under your own fingernails from the various things you come in contact with every day. If your doctor is able to do some swabbing, she can test for some strains of HPV.
Simply tell your mother that you're having some female problems down below and you think you should see a doctor. Simple things like a yeast infection can occur from anything--including wear really tight clothes down there, drinking too little water, eating lots of sugar, and wearing thongs. Play it off that you're having some funky discharge and you want to talk to a doctor about it if you absolutely cannot tell your mother about the bump. From there, have her make you an appointment, see your doctor, and tell him/her the truth about the bump. Personally, I do suggest you be honest with your mother though in case this bump turns out to be something serious and you need more medical help to fix the problem.
Having a bump on your vagina is absolutely not normal.
Having a painful bump on your vagina is pretty scary.
My mother had cancer down there and, though hers was not in the form of a bump on the outer part of her vagina where she could reach, it's very serious, too, and a possibility.
I also highly recommend that you request your doctor to give you a full BLOOD STD test to be on the safe side. For this you're going to need to make of list of all STDs you know of and can find on the internet. Bring the paper along in your purse or pocket and when you see your doctor bring up the STD test. Ask them what they usually test for and if you can request more testing be done. If they allow it then suggest the items on the list that they currently do not test for.
You doctor may blow it off at first since you've only been with one partner but, like I'm saying, a bump on your vagina is absolutely not normal. Just say, "I want to make really positive about this. I am pretty sure my boyfriend has been faithful but I want to make sure that I am clean. That's all."
If they respect you, they'll do it for you. It only takes a little vial of blood and a swab usually.
This is not from shaving, trust me. It is not a rash from pads, trust me. This is not normal.
Please, go back to your doctor soon. If it's causing pain then your body is trying to scream at you that it is not right. Listen to you body and see your doctor about it.
