Painful bump on bikini area

Help 😂😂 I have this swollen bump and I don’t know what it is (it was there before I shaved as well, I hadn’t shaved for about a month prior and it’s been here for a week and a half now). I am sexually active but we are both each other’s firsts to do anything so I’m really not worried about anything like that, plus I don’t think it looks like anything related to that. If it’s just an ingrown hair, great! But I am concerned it’s a lymph-node problem, I’ve had a lot of very painful problems with those in the past but they typically swell up in my armpits and neck. If somebody can weigh in their opinion on what it looks like and what I can do to make it go away (it’s very painful), that would be amazing.

Also I am aware that posting genitalia is against the rules, I don’t think this counts since it’s by my leg and isn’t showing my actual vagina but I could be wrong. If it does please comment and I’ll delete the picture immediately. I don’t want to anger or offend anyone in the slightest, I’m just concerned and can’t afford to go to a doctor. It doesn’t look like much in the picture but I’m the center and on the left are the two raised dots and the rest is swollen and red. It’s actually way more puffy than usual which is causing me to be concerned. Thanks!
