Q: seventeen years old, never had sex before - curious about her body.

Hi, I'm a seventeen year old female and I've never had sex before. Only oral - with like two guys and only a couple times. I've known them basically my whole life. About two months ago I noticed something that resembled a pimple on my vagina and I was curious to what it is. It went away after a week or so - and wasn't painful what-so-ever. I was just curious to what it was, considering like I've said - I've never had sex before. I do shave down there, so I thought maybe that could be the cause of it. I've only had one other one since the first one, and again it lasted a day - no pain at all.

Hello there

 

First off please know that I am not a doctor.

 

Secondly, it is possible to get an STD from oral sex. But it seems what you are describing is probably just from shaving...it is probably a sebaceous cyst.  Here is an article I wrote about lumps and bumps down there and what they may be.

 

I am guessing it is nothing serious but as always if you have concerns you can always talk to your doctor or gynecologist.

 

Hope this helps some.  Thank you for your question.
