From the way you are describing this, it may be a Bartholin's cyst. If it is, the treatment would depend on the size, how painful and whether or not it is infected. Your best course of action would be to see your gynecologist. He/she will be able to determine the best treatment. Being honest, the sooner you seek treatment, the better for you!
It very well might drain on its own...especially if you soak frequently in a tub of warm water. However, it might become painful enough that you will just want it taken care of and not to wait for the warm soaking to work. Also, if infected, you would require antibiotics.
