Well, if you have never taken part in any sexual activity, then having a sexually transmitted disease would be unlikely. It can possibly be something other than an STD. The bumps might be genital cysts, to have these drained, see a Doc. Herpes is transmitted skin to skin. I would still see a Doc if I were you.

Virgins can very well have STDs.
If you're talking about reoccurring bumps on your vaginal area then it could be herpes since they typically appear, break-open, disappear, and cycle through again through various times of the year when the immune system lowers. You could have contracted it by a parent during a harmless diaper change as an infant and have gone years without an outbreak now (very common, actually). If you read any sort of herpes-help forum you'll see that TONS of parents accidentally forget to wash their hands before a diaper change and wind up spreading herpes to their infants. :( Not their fault. Accidents happen. Tons of people go so long (10+ years in some cases) between break-outs that they don't even realize they're infected, too.
Beyond that, it could be a rash. It could be an odd strain of HPV that you body had been battling. It could be a skin infection. It could be an allergy. It could be excess yeast in the body (not necessarily in the vagina) or a skin parasite.
There are so many possibilities that we're just taking a stab in the dark here. Personally, I would call the doctor when the sores appear and get them to check those out, do some swabs and scrapes, and maybe blood work to make sure everything is okay. You're 18 and should be having your regular female exam once a year anyway even if you're a virgin still.
So, the next time the bumps appear call up the doctor and get a quick appointment. Express your concerns over an STD infection. Have them do the swabs, scrapes, and blood-work. You'll get a for-sure answer and maybe a way to treat this problem easily :)

Even though your a virgin you can still get an STD from oral sex and anal sex. if you haven't done anything with anyone then it maybe a yeast infection, such as vaginitis, or something else. But you should go to your doctor and get tested. good luck, and inbox me and let me know how it goes. <3nikita
