Allergy vs infection: This could be an allergy to a product you are using (soap, lotion, douche, latex condoms, etc.) a medication (for instance, sulfa antibiotics) or an infection with yeast or even herpes simplex. If the swelling is only on one side, it may be an abscess of a gland of the labia minora. You need an exam by a health professional to tell for sure.

Labia minora: Swelling on one or both sides of the labia minora can arise from sexual activity with poor lubrication, or from infection, bacterial or viral . See your gyn provider for an exam.
