Ok, I am being serious, so everyone try to be mature. For years, I have had painful lumps under my arms and around my vagina (on the labia, mostly). They are sometimes small, but can get quite large. The bigger they are, the more they hurt (I assume because of the stretching). Could this be a specific type of cyst (or anything else), since it occurs in both places? I am pretty certain it is not an STD, because I have been sexually exclusive (and safe!) for about a year, and I have been tested in that time. Any ideas?

That's what it sounds like to me. I get them under my arms too, but they aren't that painful for me; just irritating. Does anyone in your family have them? Sometimes they can be hereditary. Like in my family, we get cysts in our earlobes, and shouldn't get our ears pierced. My aunt did, when she was younger, and almost had to have her lobe amputated because of the "cauliflower" thing that grew. Anyways, if it continues to bother you, maybe you should see about seeing a dermatologist for the ones under your arms, and your gyno for the ones "down there".

If you have a sex partner, and you engage in unprotected sex, you can always get an STD. Getting tested isn't immunization, nor is it a way to control the actions of your partner. There are plenty of people who've had relationships with people who've become unfaithful after dating, or even being married, longer than a year. The lumps you are experiencing can be anything from clogged sebaceous glands, ingrown hairs, boils, or genital warts (an STD). Go to your doctor or local Planned Parenthood clinic and let them examine you when the 'lumps' are present. Some thing can be diagnosed simply by visual examination, but if test are called for, they may need fluid from the cyst.
As for the lumps under your arms... you don't know what they are either. Just because they feel or appear the same as the lumps on your genitals doesn't mean they are the same. You shouldn't be trying to diagnose yourself because you're not trained to do so. Go to a doctor!

I don't think that they are cysts at all. I think you may have some blood clots appearing. If so, you best get them checked before they break loose and go to your heart and kill you or give you a stroke. Get them checked they could be dangerous.

i get them undermy arms sometimes too... i always thought it was from shaving but i know they are very painful... since you also have them around your vagina i would talk to a doctor just to be sure even though you have been tested for STD's... and the doctor might be able to give you something to help!!! good luck

Okay, I recommend that you see a docter. Although you shouldn't be too concerned about the lumps, it would be a good precaution just to make sure everything's okay. Good Luck and take care of yourself! :)

Ok, these things grow? If they are doing that you should certainly see your doctor. They could be nothing, but they could be something. Does anything come out of them?

Do you shave both of these area's?
If so it could be that you have infected hair folicals, no big deal but can be painful.
I dare say its time to see a doctor?!?!
