Bartholin's cyst: Just inside the vagina are the Bartholin's glands which lubricate the vagina. The opening can get blocked and then fluid accumulates and a cyst forms. Soaking in warm water several times a day my aid in opening the cyst. If it is quite painful or large, it is most likely infected and you need an evaluation by your doctor, esp Gyn.

Unsure: It would require an exam and possibly cultures at least to be able to determine what is responsible for your lesion. You need to see your doctor.
