Hard Lump On Labia Majora, Have Not Shaved The Part Ever. What Could Be The Cause?

I am embarrassed to ask about a hard lump on my labia majora . I had one once before a long long time ago and it went away. It itched at first and then I noticed a painful lump. I don t shave down there so I don t know if it s an ingrown hair .. The last time I had one I called my ob/gyn and the nurse told me to use a warm compress because it was probably an ingrown hair.
