vaginal swelling

Hi, I need info on something kinda embarassing.
A couple days ago the right side of my external vaginal area (outside the lips) became red and swollen. It doesnt really hurt, but there are some small bumps, also painless.
I usually shave all pubic hair off, and sometimes get razor rash.
These new lesions, though, are a little larger than razor rash, with white tops.
I can scrape off the white top and there is a small amount of discharge and a little blood.
There is no irregular vaginal discharge either.
I believe they are sebaceous cysts.
I havent been sexually active and was tested 2 months ago and came up Negative for STD's.
Is there another cause for this?
The symptoms have decreased but not disappeared.
Is there something I can do at home to remedy this?

Thanks,
Erin
