weird bump on labia?

I have a weird bump on my labia. It showed up yesterday or the day before. It’s roughly the size of a pea, somewhat firm but too soft to be a wart. It itches moderately and hurts mildly. It’s uncomfortable to stand or sit certain ways because my pants or my leg will press against it, which makes it hurt more. It’s bright pink and a little warmer than the surrounding skin. What could it be? I don’t have health insurance. What’s my best bet for getting it looked at? I also suspect I may have hemorrhoids. Can hemorrhoids occur on the labia?
I haven’t shaved or waxed in about a month. This is a lot bigger than any other ingrown hairs I’ve had, anyway.

Chances are its just an infection that needs to be treated with an antibiotic, not an std.

It probably developed because of friction in that area. Kind of like when you get a new pair of shoes and they cause a blister?

But to be safe, and since you do not have health insurance, please go to your local health dept for and appt and check up and blood test. It is free as well as the neds they will give you to clear it up.

For the time being, buy some Epsom Salts at the drug store or grocery store. Put about 1/2 cup into a warm bath, stir to dissolve the salt then sit in it for at least 30 mins each day.

The salts cost about $2.00 and if you do not see improvement within 5 days, go to the health dept.

Also, wearing Thong undies as well as tight jeans can cause this type of irritation.

Good Luck and go to the hrealth dept so you don’t have to suffer thru this. Jackie b
