black bump on vagina lips

While showering last night, I found a raised bump on my vagina lips - It almost looks like a black/dark purple blood blister.  I have no idea what it could be and have never had anything like this before.  It is about the size of a "tick" - sorry - would be.  Any ideas?  I have not been sexually active for two weeks.
