Brief Answer:
Get it examined.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting a query,

Lump you are complaining of looks to be a BARTHOLIN cyst or just a pustule. Cannot conclude the diagnosis just by a history. You have to get it examined and treated immediately. Along with the treatment i would suggest you to do self care like soaking the cyst in hot water for several times a day. For 3 to 4 days. For time being if it is painful then you can take Tab.IBRUGESIC 1 tablet 2 times daily for 3 days.

Any issues keep me updated.

Take care.

It doesn't seem to be a cyst. It is spongey and is hanging off my inner labia minora. It doesn't seem to be puss or fluid filled, is pink and painless.

Brief Answer:
bartholin cyst.

Detailed Answer:
It is not a pustule it is most probably a Bartholin cyst. This is how the cyst presents painless and pink. But still it is very difficult to diagnose just by describing the lesion. It is very essential to get physically examined by a gynecologist. Consult a doctor at the earliest to prevent secondary infection.

Take care.
