Brief Answer:
Bartholin cyst is likely

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It does appear between clitoris and vagina on the vaginal area. When it is big, becomes difficult to identify origin. By your description it looks like bartholin cyst. It would be more helpful to identify if you can send a picture of it.
