Women can get pimples around and on the female area. It's probably just a pimple, nothing more serious. If it seems different than normal pimples you should get it checked out because it could be genital warts or genital herpes. You could have caught that from someone way back when and have it not show up until now. So it's good that you are keeping an eye on your private area.
I have gotten pimples around my private area but not on it. When I went to see my female doctor she said that it happens and it's ok but you need to watch it to make sure it's not something else. Because if it is something else and you don't do anything about it, it could possibly cause you to be sterile.

I know these situations can be scary, but just take a breath. YOu said it looks like a pimple? Thats probably just what it is. You can try to pop it or just use compression with a warm washcloth. It'll bring whatever is inside of it to the head, makin git easier to work with. If you dont feel comfortable doing this, you can always make an appointment to see a doctor. I know that may not seem like the best choice, but you have to realize that they see things like this all the time, so what may seem abnormal to you may be extremely common to them. I hope everything works out well for you. Good luck.

It happens. It's probably not an STD if there's just one. But if you start to see more, it's time to get tested.
In the meantime, hold a warm washcloth on it to relieve some pain, and it should go away in a few days. Unless it's on the outside, in which case it may be an ingrown hair. If it's an ingrown, lightly scrubbing it with a washcloth should take care of it.

Relax. It can either be a pimple caused by moisture in the area or it's an ingrown hair. Treat it as you would any pimple and in time it'll go away. Keep the area clean and dry as much as possible to avoid further pimple inhabitants.

Relax, it is just a pimple. The key is that it is inflamed, painful and has a head. If it was painless, you may want to look at other things, but it is either just a pimple or ingrown hair. You can pop it and keep it clean and it will heal or just let it heal on it's own. No need to panic.

It's just a pimple, pop it!:D Or it could be a pearly white papule. In that case, DONT pop it. But if it looks like a pimple, it is lol. It's okay, you can get them any where on your body.

it could be an ingrown hair follicle. you can out baking soda paste on it to draw out the pimple and them release the pressure with a sterile needle if the pain is bothersome. but it could be a herpes blister or genital wart. if your concerned that it may be see your doctor.

Go see a gp or gynecologist, it's not what we think it's what your physician who took proper history and examined you thinks that counts and will help.
Good luck!
