Brief Answer:
Bartholin cyst likely

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

The lump in the vulva is most likely a bartholin gland cyst.

It is painful only when there is an infection inside it.

It may be required to be removed if large or recurrent.

I will suggest you consult an OBGYN specialist for proper examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope you found the answer helpful.
