Weird bump/lump to the left of vaginal opening? Any help is appreciated!

About one day ago I sat down and felt a small pain on my vagina. I noticed two little bumps that kind of resembled pimples, but with a not as noticeable white head. I have had vaginal pimples a few times and they have gone away on their own/after I popped them. However throughout the day I noticed the one on the left became a bit more painful. I looked at them again and, even though it may not have been a good idea, I attempted to pop both the lumps. However, pus didn't come out. Instead there was a clear fluid that leaked out only a little as well as a small amount of blood, (same for both.) by the next morning (Sunday April 25th)  the left one had grown a little in size and was more red and swollen in the surrounding area as well as having some purpley spots. This lump has grown about 3-4 times its original size. The one on the right had almost completely disappeared over night. However the lump on the left side has increased in size, appears to have a bit more of a white head, it has become more painful and it is mainly red with a little bit of purple in some areas. The lump is located to the left of and slightly above the vaginal opening on/in between my labia minora and labia majora.
Naturally I googled what I was experiencing. Somebody had posted a question moderately similar to what I found on myself. Somebody answered suggesting it was a Bartholin gland cyst. I looked up a picture of this and the diagram shows what mine looks like, it's about 90% similar; even the placement.
I know sometimes ingrown hairs cause things like this, I don't know if this makes a difference but i haven't  been sexually active nor have I shaved there in a long time.
Even though the area with a white head has become bigger, when I try and pop It now it still only produces  a clear discharge and a bit of blood.
What do  you think this could be and  what do you suggest I do? Thanks!
