Chances are, it's nothing. If it's painful, if it gets worse or if others start showing up, it may be something that you should ask a doctor about. Even though there's a chance it could be something bad, it's normal to get bumps in that area, especially if you shave there. If you're still worried, I'm sure that since you have polysystic ovarian syndrome that it would be easier to set up an appointment without your parents getting too suspicious. Easier yet, just call your doctor and maybe you can get things resolved over the phone. You don't need to contact any sort of specialist, just your regular doctor. In order to put your mind at ease, my advice for you is to just give your doctor a quick call. Your doctor will be able to give you more information about what is a concern and what isn't. Good luck! :)

I do believe that since you do have this syndrome anything that can be related to your reproductive system needs to be checked out by a doctor. This is the overly cautious thing to do.
Fooling around, which is normal, does elevate your hormone levels to some degree. Since polycystic ovarian syndrome has to do with hormones and the bump is on your vagina you need to have it checked out.
If you are over 14 you can, by a Federal Law called HIPPA, ask to see the doctor in private. Meaning mom waits in the waiting room. The doctor will support you in this request. This will allow you to speak openly with the doctor about your concerns.
As I said fingering is normal but I doubt you want your mom hearing it. It is okay to tell the doctor for if you are 14 or older the doctor(s) cannot tell anyone what you tell them or what you are examined or treated for. This law specifically provides for your medical privacy so that you will see a doctor for concerns about your reproductive health and be open and truthful with the doctor(s).
Once you obtain the age 14 you are responsible for your reproductive health. Neither mom or any court will force you to under go any procedure you do not want with the exception of a life saving procedure.
