What Causes Swelling In Labia Along With Severe Itching?

I have been very itchy on my labia. I have scratched at it a lot the last couple days and noticed just in the last couple hours my left labia is hard and swollen almost 3 times the size of my right one. There is no pain. Do I need to go to the ER or can I wait and talk to my doctor on monday?
