About two days after my last period, I got a red bump on the right side of my vagina. A couple days after that, another red bump appeared right next to the other one. They hurt really badly, whenever my underwear shift or when my legs rub together. I'm a virgin, so there's no possibility of an STD or anything, but could I have an infection? What are these bumps and should I see a doctor?
Thanks so much.

Just because you're a virgin, you're not exempt from possibly having an STI. Herpes Simplex virus, for example, can be transmitted via saliva through oral sex, as well as Syphilis, among other STI'S. This information is false.
As far as what the bumps are, they could be a multitude of things. If you shave your pubic region, it could possibly be ingrown hairs. You might be allergic to the material in your underwear. You could have a yeast infection or a rash. I can't diagnose you as I'm not a doctor, but you should make an appointment with your gynecologist. [ snarky's advice column | Ask snarky A Question ]
