I : I am afraid that you really need to see your gynecologist for an examination and testing. This problem does not lend itself to suggestions over the internet. I think you want to get a diagnosis because lesions can recur and you will be constantly worried. Also, it is not necessary to be in pain for most of these situations. Good luck and sorry i cannot be of more assistance.
