What could this be???

Lately I've been getting these weird lumps about the size of a pea in my vaginal area that have been coming and going for about 6 months now. I don't know what they could be, they are basically painless except they feel like they are pinching sometimes. They are mainly skin colored and other times they might turn to a bruising color and rarely reddish. They are mostly under the skin except this one that i found under the hood which bulged out a little but later bled and went away on its own. I've found that it might be an ingrown hair or something but I'm not sure that's it even though I do shave sometimes. They usually go away after a few weeks and only come one at a time, and I've looked up bunches of things to try and find out what this could be but I am still unsure. And whenever I actually get into the doctors they've gone away by then. I have only had unprotected sex once with another virgin who hadn't had any sexual contact whatsoever before. Could this be an STD??? Please help!!

No, it doesn't sound like an STD.  It could be ingrown hairs or sebaceous cysts.
