I'm not sexually active, but wonder if I could have an STD - Sexually Transmitted Diseases Message Board

I posted this two months ago:

I have a bump, it's almost a blister-type thing on the inside of one of my outer labia, and I don't what it could be. It seems to be about the same color as the skin down there, and it's painful all the time. I'm a virgin, and have had absolutely no kind of sexual contact whatsoever. I'm a bit worried that it could be something from a toilet seat. I'm also wondering if it's possible to have a cyst in that area...whatever it is, I need to know...please help!

Don't worry it will go away. I don't think it is really anything because when I was 15 I had the same EXACT thing you just described and I was a virgin and had never even had one bit of sexual contact. If you want go get it checked out, but it will go away. I had it for a few weeks, maybe even months and it was painful as all hell, but it went away. Hope for the best

Since then, the bump has come back, twice, on my other labia. Could this be an STD, or something else?

It is possible for an STD to be acquired without any sexual activity. (I presume you have not had any touching or oral contact down there.) It could be other things, too, but since it is not going away on its own, you really need to see a doctor.

Try to go in to see your doctor before the bump heals up. If it's herpes, it's better for them to take a culture from an active sore. If you are still living with your parents, is it possible that a family member has something that you might of picked up from a wet towel or something? It's rare, but it can happen.
