Hello ma'am and welcome.

A lump or swelling in the mons pubis region could possibly be related to a hair follicle inflammation or infection and I would not really worry much about it. These appear due to either constant friction caused from inner wear, shaving the region, waxing the region, or when the pubic hair is grown too long and gets pulled due to the friction from the clothes.

Just make sure you maintain good hygiene in the region, change your inner wear regularly, take 2-3 showers a day with lukewarm water, do not try bursting the lump, apply warm compresses to the region either directly or indirectly (over your clothes) and try to take sitz bathes with epsom salt several times a day.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
