Hello,
Firstly examination is very important here.There are various different kinds of swellings and only an examination can differentiate them. If the labia is swollen it could be cystic in nature like a Bartholin's cyst or Gartners cyst.But a confirmed diagnosis can only be made upon examination. Whether it requires excision,will also depend upon the diagnosis.If its not too large,sit in a tub of hot water twice a day.But of there is any pain,discharge etc,you will need antibiotics and surgery.These cysts have a tendency to recur so i suggest that you do see a doctor.
