Well, it could be a zit or if you shave there, it could be an ingrown hair. However, if you are sexually active you may want to get tested for herpes or other STDs.

If it feels hard like a pea, it is probably a lymph node. We have them in that area. It probably means you have a little infection of some sort in your system. The lymph nodes nearest the infection get tender when you have an infection.
Generally it is not serious and will go away soon.

Probably an ingrown hair. Take some good long soaks in a hot bath tub and see if that doesn't help bring it to a head.
