Lump near pubic bone

I am 20 years old and I have a lump on the right side of my vagina. It is near my pubic bone, near the hairline. You can't see it but you can feel it when you apply pressure and move in circular motion. It is about the size of a marble and does cause some pain, but nothing drastic. There is also some swelling around it. But I am very worried and tried researching on it. I really need some advice right now. Please, help me.

hi everyone, i had this same problem, and decided to post my experience here after going to the doctor's. i was worried sick because i'm only 20, and when i felt a lump suddenly on one day i was needless to say, very very very freaked out & paranoid, since i'm very much a hypochondriasiac as well. anyway, mine turned out to be a swollen lymph node coupled with at UTI, & the UTI is especially so if you feel pain around the groin area (sometimes very bad pain i must add), and the 'lump' itself is tender to the touch, not painful and shouldnt be too big. my doctor prescribed me antibiotics and pills for my UTI, and said that if the swell doesnt go down 2-3 weeks after the start of medication i will have to go for further checkup...hope this helps.

Don't worry, I have had one as you describe, for five years.  Eventually it became infected so I went to a plastic surgeon and had it removed.  It is called a sebaceous cyst.  It can come back but it was the best thing I could have done, to have it removed, it was noticeable on my face.

I have the exact same thing! I noticed it when I got out of the shower! A pea sized bump. Didn't have a pimple head really, but I tried to squeeze it like a pimple and it had white stuff come out that didnt smell just like a pimple and even blead a little bit like a pimple after you get all the stuff outta it.. Cept it still kinda hurts (it's been like half an hour since I squoze it) and it's firm, and sorta sticks up.. like it's noticable. I'm a virgin, but I'm just kinda freakin out 'cause my boyfriend has herpes on his eye.. ha. I didn't know if that makes a difference, though he hasn't had a break out in over a year goin strong.. I'm just hoping it's just an ingrown hair :-/. Makes me feel better to post about it. If anyone else has had this before, please responde because the doctor prolly couldn't fit me in for a couple months (that's how long it took for my past appointment). Nobody likes to find lumps anywhere on them, am I right!
