Is this too high to be a Bartholian Cyst?

Hi there. 

I noticed it was painful to wipe this evening, and when I checked down below there was this sore place. It’s like a ball; I can pinch it either side. The surface of it is very tender. 

It’s come up quickly with no other symptoms. Could it be a cyst? Or just a spot? I think have the herpes virus in my body, but my last outbreak was 7 years ago. I had about 5 over a 5 year period.

    If it is a single big one so mostly not herpes. 

    May be abcess or boil.

    It looked like there was more than one “head” thing this morning, but still one ball. 

    Then it exploded (sorry; TMI!) and blood and puss came out. Is it just a spot of it did that?
