I found a round bump under the skin of my left outer labia, it slides around under the skin. It is not visible unless I stretch my skin like crazy and then pinch it between four fingers or so, like I was using a ouigie board or something... I noticed that there is cartlidge on both sides, but this seems to be a bit more pronounced. Almost like a small marble. Could this be serious? There is no hereditary deseases in my family except Diabetes, I am 16 and sexually active. I am positive I have no STD. I am extremely concerned... should I schedule an oppointment with someone??

Did I find a bump?
If you are concerned, then get it checked out, if only for your piece of mind.
Get it checked. It is not uncommon to develop cysts in the Glands of Bartholin (not serious). Could be even simpler, such as a blind pimple of some such. If it is irritated, get it checked.
The glands of bartholin are somewhat beneath the vagina, aren't they? This bump lies sort of diagonally above and to the left of my clitorus. Is it still possibly a cyst? I'm pretty positive it's not a pimple; it rolls and slides around under my skin.
Yes, you are correct. The glads of B are on either side of the vaginal entrance. Where you have located this, it is more likely an ingrown or blind pimple but could be a cebaceous syst - they show up anywhere. Do not mess with it and see the doctor if it does not begin to disappear. Removal is quite simple.
I'll do that. Thankyou.
