Is it hard, or squishy?
I noticed this a month ago on the outside of my bikini area. It was huge, like the size of a knuckle. I freaked out, took a mirror down there, called my midwife, and we determined that it was a varicose vein. It is still there, I am assuming it will go away after delivery. But from what I read online, it can last for a bit afterward. My lump was squishy though, like a vein.
If yours is hard, I would guess some sort of abscess. If hard, I would put a wet hot compress on it and see if there is some sort of way for it to drain.
