It is hard to say what the bump is without seeing it. Genital warts caused by human papilloma virus usually appear in clusters. A cyst is the more probable diagnosis. You might try to apply topical corticosteroid creams to decrease the inflammation. If the bump grows larger or the surrounding tissue turns red, hot or painful you might want to visit your doctor for further treatment.
