Hello dear,
Understand your concern.

Following are the cause of lumps near vagina.
1. Bartholin's cyst: Bartholin cyst generally not associated with pain if it is small and uninfected. But the burning pain inside the vagina may be due to genital tract infection. Bartholin cyst sometime get ruptured and lead to infection inside vagina. Dear never pope up the bump: it causes deep infection.
2. Bacterial infection: as it is moist area
3. STDs
4. Fungal infection
5. Dermatitis
6. Sebaceous cyst: no any complication

If you have no any discomfort, pain, itching and bleeding.
Nothing to do. It is harmless.
You can take treatment as cosmetic value and if you have severe anxiety.

Following are the treatment:

Maintain hygiene as below:
Wear loose, cotton underwear
Bathe or shower frequently
Wash vagina with warm and salt water after urination to maintain hygiene
Change out of sweaty or wet clothing as soon as possible
Do use hygiene sprays
add yogurt and other fermented foods to your diet to promote healthy bacteria
Reduce the amount of sugar you eat.

If not resolved consult gynecologist and do test for all above disease by following test.
Pelvic examination
Gram stain and culture
PCR and nucleic acid amplification test:swab should be taken from urethra


If you are very anxious and cause bleeding, foul smelling, consult the doctor for simple excision of cyst.
Hope this may help you.
Best regards
