Hello Emmaline,

Thanks for your query.

Any lump in the genital area has to be treated as a sexually transmitted disease if you are sexually active. It would be wise to get tested for stds like syphilis,herpes,gonorrhea etc. If the test is normal and you are cleared of stds then this is probably a cyst or a clogged gland. Unless they get infected, they are pretty harmless. If the cyst has started discharging, then there is probably no active infection.

Apply hot fomentation on the area few times a day. This is the best home remedy available for you.

If the cyst doesnt resolve in a few days then antibiotics will be required as its probably getting infected.

I suggest that you get an std panel first. If clear, your doctor can give you antibiotics for the cyst if needed.
