ok so about 6 months ago i noticed some bumps "down there" and kinda freaked out and went to my doctor. they were on the outside of my vagina, on the lips. she wasnt worried at, but did tests to be sure, and told me some weird name of what it was and said not to worry at all and that they would go away. i went back 2 months later cuz they were still there and she said dont worry it takes a while and that i was fine. well its been a good 6 months now and they went from being little white painless bumps to more like pimples and are a bit bigger. and they HURT!
HELP!!! what is this and what will make it better?!?!? im not able to go to a doctor right now as i am working out in a camp. i just want it to go away Sad

also, i have some on my stomach now too. just the white ones, not pimple type ones. and im not sexually active right now, havnt been for a couple months..

You can get pimples in the vaginal area; it is called a sebaceous cyst. It follows the same kind of course as a facial sebaceous cyst (pimple), though it's possible to get them infected due to the abundance of bacteria in the area. Use hot, moist compresses on it which brings the pus to the surface and it will eventually drain on its own (the best course to follow) or with minimal pressure.
For that you can get these over-the-counter very inexpensively: Neosporin, Polysporin
