hard painful lump

for the last 2 days ive had a sharp pain every hour or so right at the spot where the elastic of my panties rubs agaist the skin on the area around the left side of my vagina. i didnt really think much of if until a few minutes ago when it hurt again and i touched it. its kind of the size of a pea, its notabove my skin at all, it hurts to push on it or squeeze it and i havent looked at it yet. im only 13 so ive never slept with anyone and right now im freaking out a little. also id be too embarressed to tell my mom which means no doctors. thanks in advance to anyone who replies!

It's a Bartholin's cyst. It could go away by itself or you could try soaking in a hot tub to get it to drain. They just happen spontaneously so there's nothing you did to cause it. Good luck.
