Black spot in labia [content warning: graphic images]

Hi guys…
so I’ve recently given birth (12 weeks ago)
I've just noticed a small round spot inside my labia. It’s definitely new, painless and hard.
It can’t be an STI, i haven’t had sex since the baby & was all clear on my last tests.
I started the mini pill 4 weeks ago and also started running which put some pressure on my pelvic floor so I’ve stopped again while I work on strengthening that.
could it be a blood vessel or something more sinister?
Has anyone else experienced this?
photo attached!
thanks

I have 2 of these since having my last child, I did try popping them but they just bled and then went back to this. Following to see if anyone else has any advice.

It's a varicosite- harmless

I have a couple of these too, ugly but harmless I believe.

Update…..
I went to see my GP and she confirmed it’s just a burst blood vessel! Phew
