What wrong down there?!

HI, this is kind of awkward but I guess I'll just go ahead and ask. On my vagina, (I'm not sure the technical term but the lip I guess you could say) closer to the rectum, I have some sort of sore. It just suddenly appeared there today and I have no idea what it is. It looks like a pimple, but I didn't think you could get them there. I am a virgin and haven't had any oral intercourse either, so I don't think it's from that. I do have coldsores and kankersores on my mouth right now, so I thought that could be a possibility? Also another thought was that it may be an ingrown hair from shaving but I don't think that I shaved that close. So I'm really kind of scared because I don't know what it is, and it is painful to the touch. If anyone could please help me that really knows what they're talking about, I'd appreciate it a lot!

Thanks

I had somethign that sounds similar at one time, it was a boil on the inner part of my leg, lower vagina area. It turned out to be a boil, which is a super huge pimple that is filled with puss and blood. If that is the case your not supposed to squeeze them and try and pop them your supposed to let them come to a head and pop themselves. Mine hurt like he!!. Heat also helped mine pop. Warm baths, and then just the steam from the water sitting on the side of the tub close to the spout. I had mine for about 3-4 days before they finally poped and went away. Mine were caused from shaving, when i was just shaving the bikini line, but i havent had any since i was 14-15. (Im 18 almost 19 now).
