Hello dear
Understand your concern.
I think it is recurrent boil.
It is generally associated with itching, redness and pain.
Following are the causes: Diabetes, Poor nutrition, Poor hygiene,
Exposure to allergic chemicals
Advice:
Blood test: Glucose, CBC, ESR, Urine : routine and microscopy.

Apply warm pad
Take antibiotics: cefexime
Use simple unperfumed soap
Wah vaginal area with warm water 2-3 times per day
Apply oil and mineral based lotion

If not resolves in 3-4 days
it require drainage by incision.

Following are the other cause of lump in vagina:
1. skene's duct cyst
2. Blocked sweat gland
3. Fordyce cyst
4. Molluscum contagium
5. Bartholin cyst: rare

All this cyst are pain less and harmless generally.
Do not pop up , it causes infection and bleeding
But if it is very large and associated with pain, dysuria, fever, itching , redness and foul smelling vaginal discharge.
Then
You should think about STDs and would like to test for STDs and
And consult to doctor for drainage and take antibiotics.
Also maintain hygiene and keep the area dry.

Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
