It can be distressing to find a change anywhere on our skin, but especially so on the genitals. While this could be one of the many skin changes associated with aging, the most common growth on the labia is a genital wart caused by a sexually transmitted virus, HPV. There are other rarer causes including skin cancers of the genital area (vagina and vulva). Inspection by a GYN, and possibly a biopsy in the office (using local numbing medicine) will give you a definite answer.
