Ingrown Hair: Usually quite painful to the touch and may resemble a pimple. Usually the best thing is to apply warm compresses and avoid shaving the area.

I have two sores on my vagina. I noticed these after getting a hemorrhoid. It looks like a sore from an ingrown hair follicle that popped, but it's much larger. They are quite painful but there is no pus or discharge. What could they be?
