The genital region is rich in nerve endings and blood supply, any little off thing can feel very painful. There are a few possibilities given your age, and they are easily treatable. A physician will gently examine you and determine if you have a bartholin's cyst. If indicated, they will recommend testing. Try to avoid intercourse until you are seen by a provider, otherwise the area will become more inflamed and uncomfortable. A sitz bath can also provide you significant relief until you are seen by a provider.
It sounds to me like a cyst. There are glands at the opening of the vagina that may get plugged and then fill with fluid. If you feel it and it feels like fluid (as opposed to a hard pea) that's likely the culprit. Like with any cyst, try soaking in warm epsom salts, like a sitz bath. That means you get a big Rubbermaid tub and fill with warm water, or take a bath. Then rinse with cold water when you get out. You can see if you can massage the cyst after you get out to expel the blockage. It's like a blackhead. Also, see below. It's likely nothing to worry about.
