Brief Answer:
Can be due to folliculitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The hard and swollen lump on the labia may be caused by infected hair follicle (mostly after shaving), sebaceous or ganglion cyst, bacterial infection, soft tissue growth etc.
It can't be confirmed from the web without proper clinical view. Therefore, I suggest you to consult with your gynecologist for clinical examination including regional lymph node assessment to confirm the diagnosis.
Proper treatment can only be given on the basis of diagnosis. You may require antibacterial ointment and local hot compression to treat the condition. Other supportive treatment is also advisable.
In addition, you would maintain genital hygiene properly and wear loose fitting underwear (cotton). Do not scratch the area or wipe out. Avoid using chemical substances (soap/ detergent) around genital area.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

I sort of freaked myself out with stuff online could this be a sign of an std?
Brief Answer:
STD less likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
A single painless bump after a history of shaving is not likely to be due to STD. It is likely to subside on its own in next few days. Please do not worry. You can get it examined by your gynecologist for confirmation.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
