What was that down there!?

Four days ago, only 1 days after I got off my period, I started to develop a sore on my labia majora & it ended up getting to the size of maybe two smaller Lima beans placed next to each other and as the days went on it grew more and more painful. It went from normal color pink to red and by the 3rd day it became hard to walk. I tried asking questions left and right and looking up and reading stuff. NOTHING WAS COMING UP! I started to worry but I knew it wasn't and STD because I'm still young and never had sex & I knew it wasn't an ingrown hair because I had one of those before & it looked nothing like a boil, but then again I really don't know EXACTLY what those are..

Today was the 4th day and it became hard to walk, stand up straight, or even move! At this point I was fed up. I went and I soaked in a hot bath for about a half an hour and it felt like it made it worse while I was in the water but when I got out it was fine and the pain was gone for maybe about 2 hours, but when I got out of the bath and looked at it a bit more I noticed that in the middle there was a dark spot kind of like seeing blood under the skin and I didn't know what to think. About 2 hours later I went to use the bathroom and when I wiped it popped! It didn't really hurt all that much when it happened. What came out was pus and blood. It took me about 5 minutes just to get it to stop pussing and bleeding. I didn't know if I should let it touch any other place down there so I just put a little toilet paper over it cause some people say that stuff like this can spread...? I was desperate to not have one of these again. Any idea of what this was? Should I go see a doctor about it?

I get these once in a while. Nothing to worry about. If u catch them when they first start the pain won't be so bad. Good luck. I hope this helps.

Okay thanks! I just wanted to reassurance that this happened to someone else other than me! & I didn't want it to be something serious and me ignore it neither.
