Did you recently start cleaning out the smegma? It looks like you have clitoral adhesions. Smegma is a natural lubricant that keeps the skin around the genitals moist. If it is not washed away for a long period of time, it can accumulate, become sticky, and cause your clitoral hood to stick to your clitoris. When the hood of the skin around a womanās clitoris is fully or partially disabled it can cause significant discomfort and pain. Clitoral adhesion can usually be removed by cleaning the area where smegma has built up. A warm bath and a little bit of coconut oil can help loosen the adhesions. Getting into the habit of checking the genitals regularly for excess smegma and signs of a potential infection or other problems can prevent smegma from becoming a problem. This is especially important for people who tend to sweat a lot, which can contribute to more smegma and make it easier for smegma to accumulate.

I recently started cleaning out my smegma, yes. I didn't know females could get smegma until a year ago, I shower everyday and use a gentle soap and warm water to wash my vagina, i don't put the soap inside and i understand basic hygiene but no one ever told me about smegma. The times i have cleaned it its been relatively easy to get out but this time its nearly impossible to get out. I'm overweight so i do sweat a lot, thank you so much for the advice i was worried. I'll see if it works.

Although smegma is synonymous with uncircumcised men, females also get smegma. In fact, females tend to produce more smegma as they have more folds and crevices. This is especially true if your vulva is on the āfleshierā side. If you are not doing so already, I would recommend that you wear underwear made of a breathable material such as cotton. Because you sweat a lot, cotton underwear can help absorb the excess moisture and heat that builds up in your vagina. You can also take it a step further by sleeping without underwear. Going commando helps ventilate your vagina and allows it ābreathe.ā
When you retract the hood, does the hood move by itself or does the clitoris move along with it?
The smegma is starting to break up and it seems like it isnāt as āstuckā to the skin. I would continue using coconut oil and warm water. The coconut oil is antibacterial and helps soften the smegma. It also helps lubricate the clitoris which helps make the cleaning process less painful. The water, of course, removes the buildup/debris. After washing make sure to dry the area well. Oftentimes we are so focused on cleaning that we forget/don't realize the importance of drying (a moist environment leads to bacterial growth hence more smegma). Depending on how stubborn the smegma is, it can take several days or even weeks until it is completely removed. Smegma can be such a stressful and even painful thing but it can be managed with patience, warm water, and diligence. Once removed, the hood should move freely over the clitoris. You should be able to pull the hood far enough to be able to visualize the corona of the clitoris. If not, you may have clitoral phimosis.
