Pea size bump on labia minora
I am a 26 year old married woman. I have a pea size bump on the left side of labia minora since last week. It's red and bumpy. It feels itchy sometimes and there is a slight pain when I touch it. It had happened before as well a couple of weeks ago and had popped by itself on the 18'th of January. I had cleaned it up thoroughly with antiseptic and it had settled down. But it's come up in the same place again.

It may be a Bartholins cyst.
Things like an infection, thick mucus, or swelling can block a Bartholin gland duct and cause a cyst. The cyst can get bigger after sex, because the glands make more fluid during sex. Infected Bartholin cysts are sometimes caused by sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Next Steps
Some Bartholin gland cysts go away without treatment.
