Large skin colored hard puss filled bump on vagina

I am only 15 and not sexually active. I have had no contact in that area or any area. But i have gotten a large puss skin colored hard bump on the outside of my vagina. not on the lips but near it. Its painful and i have no discharge problems. It doesnt burn or painful when i urinate. This is the first time i have gotten this. I noticed when i shaved. it wasnt puss filled but kinda hard and didnt hurt. the next day everything else happened. what is it? im kinda nervious to tell my mother, should i see a docter?

I get those sometimes from shaving. Usually I just pop them and they go away. It's usually what Pcogale said, "Could be an infected hair follicle, especially if you shave.  But more that likely it's a cyst." It'll go away.

Could be an infected hair follicle, especially if you shave.  But more that likely it's a cyst.  These should eventually get reabsorbed by the body but it may take months.  Or a doctor can lance it and get the inside out.  Get a check up if you are really worried.  Better to be safe than sorry.
