Our potential new rabbit arrived today. When I checked her over today I saw a lump on her genitals, it doesn't look sore and there are no scabs or discharge. She's completely separate from my bunny and we're observing basic hygiene measures, handwashing, not sharing things etc. She'll be going to the vets, hopefully tomorrow, but in the meantime any ideas on what it could be?
She is an unspayed doe, 8 years old, unvaccinated, no previous health problems and has been alone for the last 6 months. Eyes and nose look good. Diet is currently unlimited rabbit royale and hay, been told she's a good hay eater.
It's not coming out of the vulva, it's next to it, on the side, between the vulva and the scent glands. The white stuff seems to be skin, and I've poked about with a cotton bud and no discharge comes out. The area doesn't seem to be inflamed at all.

At first sight, without parting fur:
It's easier to see if I press down to make genitals pop out a bit:
Any ideas? I've googled vent disease and myxi but it doesn't look like either. My rabbit is fully vaccinated. Could her scent gland be infected?
