Sounds like a normal: Sounds like a normal variation. The vaginal opening and the labia can have different appearances and still be normal. Just like having different noses, or eye color. A gynecologist would need to do an exam, probably just looking at the skin at the opening to be able to tell you if it's a normal variant, or something else.

Warts?: These could be venereal warts, or molluscum contagiousum. See gyn for treatment and pelvic exam to determine if there is any internal involvement. Also get checked yourself, especially if you are having sex without condom.

A Bartholin's Cyst: It is very ikely that you have a barthoin's cyst--it is typically not an infection but can be caused by infection which blocks the gland/duct, thus collection of fluid (swelling) to cause the "bump." this can be size of a pea up size of an egg. Simple incision may do the job, but if infected, antibiotic is needed and cyst may need to be excised. Consult your doc. Good luck.
