Hello dear
I understand your concern
Exact diagnosis require vaginal examination by consulting the gynecologist.
Painful lump near labia could be
Blocked hair follicle, Blocked sweat gland, Bartholin cyst, Fordyce cyst
Do not pop up , it causes infection and bleeding
But as it is associated with pain, then you should consult to doctor for drainage and take antibiotics.
Apply warm pad application
Maintain proper pelvic hygien and keep the area clean adn dry
Hope this may help you
