Dear : Dear young one, the most common lump that causes purulant dischrge like you describe is a Bartholin's gland abscess. There are other causes of vulvar abscess too! yes you should be seen by a gynecologist asap. Raksha v. Trivedi, md, facog www.Avaniwoman.Com.

Heat now,get eval: There are glands in the area involved that can become infected by staph or other germs. You may be able to help this heal some by sitting with a warm compress over the area (awkward!).However, I would have this looked at soon because the infection could spread into the tissues and give you a lot worse problem.
