Ok this is kind of personal but I'm getting scared. I found a small bump in my vaginal area. Now I'm not sexually active so I have no idea what it could be from. I want to wait at least a week or so to see what happens before I go to the doctor. But I'm really afraid that it's serious. What do you think it is? Is it serious? Should I be worried?

It doesn't hurt

Any time you find a lump you must go to the doctor on an emergency basis. The doctor will take tests and you'll have to wait a week or so for the results. So, don't delay. Have it checked out rather than worrying needlessly for an entire week before you see a doctor.

if you are a virgin, then it is not an STD, but if you have had sex in the past then it is possible that it could be genital warts (from the no pain perspective). it sometimes takes a little while for actual symptoms of STDs to show up (and sometimes no symptoms ever present themselves.)
if you are unsure, go to a gynocologist and ask them specifically about the bump. not a nurse practitioner, or even your regular doctor, as they will not know.
the same thing happened to one of my friends, a nurse practitioner as well as her general practitioner told her it was nothing to be worried about, and a few years later, her gyno told her she had warts, and cervical dysplasia (pre-cancerous cells) that had gone untreated and unmonitored, due to the previous medical advice she had recieved.
(if you are a virgin, i apologize for the rant, lol)
go to the doctor, do not delay!!

you should get it checked out! that happend to me once when i was 13 and it turned out i had a urine infection im also not sexually active so my doctor said it wasnt anything serious but she said any time you get a bump or bad odor coming from your vagina you should always go get it checked out as soon as possible. dont be alarmed okay?

it could easily be an ingrown hair.
you probably should go to the doctor tho. Just incase it's something more.

It could be a cyst or hair bump.
