A small hard lump suddenly appeared on the outer side of the left labia minora. How should it be treated?

Patient's question:

Duration of onset and persistence: 3 days
Current general condition: I suddenly developed a small hard lump on the outer side of my left labia. It appeared exactly on the fourth day of my period. There is no discomfort, but there is a slight pain when pressing the area, which has not disappeared yet and has not grown.
Detailed medical history and consultation purpose: I would like to ask the gynecologist what this problem is, what may have caused it, how serious it is, and how to make the small lump disappear as soon as possible.
Medical history: None

Doctor's answer:

This situation is considered to be related to vulvitis or adnexitis. The cause of this condition is related to local humidity, and timely medication treatment is necessary. This condition can also be treated with oral levofloxacin tablets for observation. It is important to avoid sexual intercourse to prevent worsening the condition. If the symptoms do not improve, it is best to seek medical observation at the hospital.
