But i am wondering... *BLUSH** I found something in the inside of my vagina when i as cleaning my self this in the shower and i am wondering if it could be anything else then an STD. I have had this before I had sex. He doesn't have and STD nor do I. Please help me.

Also, as I said, whatever it is, it's NOT an STD, if you two have only been with each other. And I can't think of any STD that would "present" as a lump.
Also, just as an FYI, it is possible to have "infections" that are NOT STD's, although some of them ARE transmitted thru sex. You can have a yeast infection, or a bacterial infection, but THOSE would involve vaginal discharges, itching, burning, etc. Those can be transmitted sexually to your partner. If that should ever happen, you'd both have to be treated to eliminate it. What you have here is NOT an infection, and it will probably go away on it's own.
If you are talking about a small, raised whitish looking bump on the outer labia (the outer, "hairy" lips of your vulva) it could very easily be a pimple. You can get pimples there, just like on your face. A small raised bump could also be an ingrown hair, especialy if you are in the habit of shaving there. Either thing is no big deal.
If it is somewhat larger than a pimple would be and seems to be more "within" the tissue rather than raised up from the surface, it could be a sebaceous cyst; basically a blocked duct of the oil glands of your skin; also normal, also not a big deal.
If this bump/growth/thing is oozing, bleeding, draining, growing, changing, discolored, irregular or painful, or if your SO has any lesions, then I think you really *should* see a Dr. Even without insurance, Planned Parenthood or a similar women's health clinic is your best bet. PP prorates its fees, based on your income level, so they are very affordable. Depending on where you live, you may find other discounted health services through your community.
Remember, even though you have had only one partner, if he has had others he *could* be carrying an STD, even if he "looks clean." Men often have NO SYMPTOMS even tho they have an STD. No offense, but are you sure he is uninfected and monogamous?
Good luck,

I would suggest looking up the local Planned Parenthood and making an appointment or a local clinic that you are comfortable with. These places take people who do not have insurance and they will not charge you a fortune. It doesn't sound like a STD, it may just be like I said before extra tissue, but just to be safe go see someone.

Also, why are you cleaning "inside"? That is not only NOT necessary, it's something you shouldn't do, because soap will upset the PH balance, and you're leaving yourself wide open for yeast infections. Washing your vulva (outside) is all you need to do to be clean, because your vagina cleans itself.
