Ingrown hair or herpes 6 months after having sex

Hello and TIA for reading this. On thursday, I noticed a small bump on my right labia. it was pretty painless and seemed like an ingrown hair, which im prone to all over my body. however, it is still here. i cant stop picking it and messing with it, and now its a small pink sore. It is the only blemish on/around my vulva and vagina. when squeezed, nothing initially came out. After bothering it consistently, a tiny amount of watery blood came out. I’ve been trying to pluck the hair to see if it will go away.

it is now angry, and hurts when touched. it is uniform in color. I do not have any other symptoms. I am NOT itching, burning, or experiencing any painful urination or abnormal discharge. My vaginal area seems to be perfectly fine other than this angry little sore/ingrown hair.

its been 6 months since I’ve had any type of sex.
i have attached photo reference.

how long has the bump been there?

hello,

I do not think this is herpes, but I would head to the gyno to get it checked out just in case! although these sites are helpful, you would really benefit from the peace of mind
