Sounds like Bartholin's Gland cyst:

Go and see your doctor for diagnosis and antibiotics. Good Luck.

It's okay!!! Just go to a gynecologist. You're not going to die from this and it is not an STD. It's OK!!

Don't stress about it!!! Are you bleeding to death? No. Are you in horrible pain? No. It's itchy. That's all. RELAX. I know it's probably annoying, but you're not about to die from it so there's absolutely no reason to be freaking out like this.

itchy vagina, itching after sex, etc...
try using NON LATEX CONDOMS, OR THOSE WITHOUT Nonoxidyl 9 Spermicide. You may be allergic to latex or spermicides. Latex Free condoms are available.

DO NOT STOP USING CONDOMS!!!! A DISEASE IS WORSE!

I AM NOT A DOCTOR! GO SEE ONE JUST TO BE SAFE!

May be a yeast infection.

SEE YOUR DOCTOR... sex will probably cause it to flare up. So does antibiotics (which, by the way can make oral birth control not work!)

FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF... try sitting in a bath of water and white vinegar.

Try tea tree oil, rub on with a cotton ball. Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic.

WASH HANDS WELL! Don't touch the bottle or anything after touching the infected area, without washing hands (this should apply throughout life!)

keep itchy area clean and DRY, try sleeping in baggy shorts, keep cool and dry and aired out.

I AM NOT A DOCTOR. GO SEE ONE.

Some things, if untreated can lead to infertility, or worse.

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE!
