Soap & water: A gentle soap and water will keep it clean, even if you have to use a squeeze bottle to avoid pain. It may be a hair follicle bump or Bartholin gland infection that a GYN MD visit can differentiate and offer RX.

Painful bump: Please don't touch it if possible but do go and see a Gynecologist as soon as possible. Does your mother know about this -if so, OK, if not please tell her.
