According to the symptoms you reported, you might be experiencing an inflammation of the skin or mucosal glands in the area. Whether the inflammation is caused by an infection cannot be told for sure. You might want to use an over the counter anti-inflammatory topical cream. If the bump does not shrink or disappear in several days or pus starts coming out or a discharge appears, do visit a gynecologist.
