Brief Answer:
Most likely boil from bacterial infection or bartholinitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely boil due to bacterial infection or bartholinitis. If you send a picture then it will be more helpful in identifying.

For such condition you can do hot fomentation and apply betadine ointment.

If you had any risky unprotected sex recently then STDs should be ruled out. Is the sore painful or painless?

Let me know if any thing not clear. I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
