A wound or pimple on the outer surface of the outer labia could be caused by an ingrown hair, a blocked sweat or oil gland, or heat or "diaper" rash. The inner surface is mucous membrane, so if there, it could be a blocked lubrication gland. If it does not resolve itself in a reasonable time, or if it burns when exposed to touch, air, or urine, or if it resolves then reoccurs, consult a physician. Note that "not sexually active" means different things to different people, and there are many activities not involving penetration that can still transmit STDs. Like, um, hand-to-there.

Friction may cause irritation to the inner labia and an ingrowing hair may cause a pimple-like irritation to appear on the outer labia if you shave or wax your genitals. However, from my recollection, a "sore" could indicate the first stage of syphilis or it could be indicative of herpes, in a worst case scenario. If you are a sexually active individual, it is best to err on the side of caution and to submit to a medical examination to determine the EXACT cause of any genital irritation so that steps can be taken to treat (and isolate) any infection.
answerthe labia majora My answer------CORRECTION: outer lips are labia majora, inner lips are labia minora. They didn't answer question of what the "mass" was.
mons pubis, outer labia, inner labia, clitoris, vulva, etc....
No. I believe that you are describing the Labia Majora. The Labia Minora are the inner labia or, lips. Majora, the outer, protective, larger or, major labia, or lips.
The only time women would be missing one of their labia is if they have had it surgically removed. All cis-women have two inner labia and two outer labia.
mons pubis, outer labia, inner labia, clitoris, vulva, etc....
The proper name for the area between the hips is the groin or inguinal region. It contains a variety of important structures, including blood vessels, nerves, lymph nodes, and muscles.
Actually, there are two pairs of folds protecting the vagina. The outer set is called the labia majora. The smaller, inner set is called the labia minora.
Its called the Labia Majora
The inner and outer labias plump up due to increased circulation when the women are sexually excited. As far as coming out in the sense that penises stick out when men are aroused, they don't. How far they stick out depends on the the size of both the majora (outer) and minora (inner). The inner labias are flappy when in an unaroused state, when aroused they fill up with blood and do have the tendency to be more prominent.
The female external genitalia includes the mons, the outer labia, inner labia, the clitoris, the urethra (opening where urine passes from the body), and the vaginal opening.
