Sorry, its on the right
Brief Answer:
Not clear.
Detailed Answer:
It is still not clear.
The light needs to focussed on the lump , in this pic it is from behind , thus obscuring it.
Further could I request you to shave the area so that there is a better visualization ?
Please understand that without looking at the lesion it is impossible to make out what it is .

Sorry
Brief Answer:
It looks like a boil, treatment detailed.
Detailed Answer:
Hey, that is alright.
I can understand how difficult it is to take photos by yourself.
I am still so sorry, the picture is quite unclear, maybe the lighting and the hair there.
However now in the third picture, I can see a small lump on the right of the pic ( left labia majora in your case , am I right ? )
It seems to be a small boil - technically called a sebaceous cyst.
That is a blockage of the hair / sweat glands in the area.
It is a type of infection.
You need to do nothing about it.
It mostly resolves on its own.
Avoid handling the area excessively.
Do not use vigorous soaps , gels, douches etc, just clean with lukewarm water.
You can apply local antibiotic cream or antibiotic dusting powder that you will get easily from your local pharmacy.
In most of cases, the boil goes away on its own.
In case it becomes bigger / redder/ more tender or persists beyond a fortnight even after local antibiotic, you need to show it to a Gynecologist, it might need oral antibiotic therapy.
Take care.

Thank you ! Because it didnt come til after i shaved and had my period .
Brief Answer:
Yes, often comes on after shaving.
Detailed Answer:
Yes dear it often is precipitated by handling the parts, and yes shaving too.
I am reasonably sure that it what it is, and it will go away.
Do not worry.
Avoid touching it, it can spread.
Have protected sex too, and try not rubbing / irritating the area much.
