Why do I have an open sore on my labia when I haven't been sexually active in 6 months?

It could be a virus. Unlike bacteria, viruses are not living organisms. They are simply strands of DNA that insert themselves into your cells in order to propogate. Sometimes viruses like Herpes can flare up after long dormant periods. This isn't much different from a cold sore, which can appear long after infection, even if you have not kissed anyone in 6 months. You should see a doctor for a proper diagnosis, as some untreated STDs can lead to chronic systemic infection, organ failure or even cancer.
Good luck!

What is a wound and pimple on your outer labia if you are sexually active?
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.

Do girls' inner labia come out when they are sexually excited?
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.

Can you just have a pimple in the outer or inner labia without it being anything major like an STD or a cyst?
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.
