Hello. Thank you for writing to us.

I suggest a possibility of a bartholin cyst.
Bartholin cysts develop as a result of blockage of the draining pathway. The result is relatively painless swelling called a Bartholin's cyst.
Often, no treatment is necessary, since Bartholin's cysts are often asymptomatic. Small, asymptomatic cysts can simply be observed over time to see if they grow.
At times, the fluid within the cyst may become infected, resulting in pus surrounded by inflamed tissue (abscess). Infection of bartholin glands will require oral antibiotics to be administered along with pain-killers.
Regards
