Lump/Abcess/Boil 'down there'

Sorry but I've rather an embarrassing question and I'm also sorry if it's TMI.
A couple of days ago and discovered a boil on my outer labia whilst having a wash down there and now it is huge. It is painful to touch and wipe when I have a pee and I now have a pain going up to my groin and pubic area on the same side. I'm currently 16 weeks pregnant. I had a relatively warm bath last night with tea tree oil in it as I now this is an antiseptic. Do you think it is anything to worry about? I don't want to bother the Dr unecessarily if it will disperse on its own. Has anyone else ever had anything like this?
Any advice gratefully received.

It might be a Bartholin's Abscess - best to see your GP as you might need antibiotics.
