Yes, you need a new tire. That's pretty much what mine looked like before it exploded overnight.

Unless.... the tube is bunched up in that spot. Then you might be able to unkink the tube and make the bulge go away.

If it's less than a month old, take it back to the LBS; they should replace it under warranty. I doubt it has anything to do with the tire levers.
