I got this bump near my vagina two or three days after I shaved. Is it a vaginal acne or boil?

This is my first time to experience this and I have been feeling anxious about this for almost five days. It really hurts and I have tried applying warm compress and aloe vera gel on it but it didn't seem to work. I don't think it's herpes because I tried searching for its appearance and it looks different. However, I really can't distinguish if it is a vaginal acne or boil. Does this need a serious treatment or not? What should I do? Please help me.image

    it could be either, or an infected hair follicle. just keep putting warm Compresses on it.

      Is it normal to experience pain from it? Like just even the smallest movements near it really hurts.. How long do you think it would last?

      have you ever had pimples as a young person? some can last for a week or more.

      if you shave or wax you will probably keep getting them every so often

      I had pimples on my face but they were never this painful and sensitive. It's just really new to me... I have been shaving for three months and this is the first time I got this. Anyways, I'll stop shaving now because I'm too scared to get another one like this. Thank you, mister.
