Lump thing on labia minora?

It's not unknown to have small cysts, pimples etc- develop even in that spot. They do usually drain themselves, and can be pretty horrendously painful to mess with yourself. Yours has drained itself, from the sounds of it, and yes that can involve what seems like a lot of bleeding. It's a pretty well supplied spot. Currently it's trying to finish the drain job and heal, and the mechanics of wiping yourself would tend to reopen matters and make it bleed. Basically what you need to do is pat, as opposed to wiping. Baby wipes would be a good idea for personal cleaning, just take it easy around the precise area of the bump. If you like you can soak your tushie in warm water, or apply warm packs to help it go faster and feel a bit more comfy. The area fortunately heals fairly fast, and within a couple days I'd expect it to be much less of a problem. If it doesn't seem to be healing on it's own, then of course you will need to see your gynecologist. It doesn't sound like an STD, more like a blocked pore than anything else. Meantime, try to avoid colored and perfumed TP and bath products like bubble bath and soap with lotion. And go commando so you can have plenty of airflow in the region. Sunlight and air are best to help skin- but of course sunlight isn't an option there. Some vitamin e oil may also help ist in the healing and make it less sensitive as well as resistant to contamination from urine. It's okay, just one of the weird things that can happen.
