What is the painful red bump/lump near my vagina? Pictures attached

I first noticed a lump in between my vagina and my b.hole while i was in the shower last week. It wasnt painful at all, just there. its now been there for a week, and it's red & painful. very painful depending on how i sit. No head has formed or any pus. I thought it was an ingrown hair, but it burns now. here are photos that I took last night & this morning. I havent been to the dr yet. any ideas?

i would visit a doctor if u have had sex recently it could be herpes or it could be some kind of skin infection a week is a long time to have an open sore so i would defo get it looked at

thank you! I went to a doctor tonight and it was an abscess that needed to be drained. on antibiotics now
