Does this sound like a batholins cyst or something else?

I noticed a red area and small 'spot' on my labia minora a few months ago after having a bad reaction to a canesten pessary. I actually thought I may have a prolapse at the time and went to the gp for this but she said everything looked fine down there so was reassured and I forgot about it.

Yesterday I started Estriol vaginal cream for dryness and irritation etc (likely in peri) and it's given me a bit a weird sensation down there. So I had a look. This red area is still there and so is the spot/lump, in the middle of this red area. It doesn't hurt at all. Wouldn't have known it was there unless I looked. I'm panicking a bit. I'm at the gp next week but can anyone reassure me that it's not something terrifying. 🙏

My Bartholin’s cyst was really bloody sore, like really sore. But they can be removed if that’s what it is
