Hard, painful lump under clitoral hood

Posted , 4 users are following.

When i pull back my hood there is a very small white kind of pimple. When I touch it I feel a bigger, hard lump under the skin and it hurts very much. It also hurts a bit while sitting or walking. Sometimes my whole upper vulva (mons pubis and the inner part of my clitoris which is covered by non-retractable skin) feels painful. What could this be? It scares me very much but I can't make an appointment with my gynecologist soon. I treated a yeast infection a few days ago which caused a very stinging pain and itching to the skin of my clitoral hood. I didn't get tested though, I just called my gyn and she said that it's probably yeast and told me which medication I should buy. The stinging pain and itching are gone now but because it was painful down there in general I didn't notice the lump until now. Do you think this has something to do with it? I'm so scared this hard lump might be cancer!

    Its most likely a blocked gland.It may just discharge,but if it is really uncomfortable and hard then do see your doctor. Dont think about cancer.

    Its not cancer so you can get that out if your mind. vulvar cancer doesnt show up that way. Try wetting a Q-tip with water and cleaning up under the hood following that by rubbing a lil bit of coconut oil on it and see it that helps soothe the pain.
