Hello and welcome to HCM,
Presence of bump or lump in the genital region could be due to lymph node enlargement or enlargement of Bartholin's gland due to inflammation.
A clinical assessment needs to be done.
Bartholin's gland is present at the junction of anterior two third of vulva and posterior one third of vulva.
It is painful in all cases.
It is caused by obstruction of duct of the Bartholin's gland.
A lymph node is unlikely to be present at this site, however, a clinical examination will allow better appreciation of lesion and relevant investigations can be ordered.

Thanks and take care
