Lumps around clitoral hood

I am in my 30s and have noticed multiple raised lumps forming under my skin around the hood and sides of my clitoris. 

I am sexually active, and are not worried these are any STDs.

They are not filled with anything either, they are very hard lumps, I have tried to squeeze one, out of panic and they r solid which ended up causing me pain. 

Should I be worried?? 

I know us women have lumps and bumps, but these r new. 

Thanks 

  • Hello Sam 35 and thanks for your post,

    I  am sorry to hear about your situation. We can't diagnose you but you may find it is something like a Bartholin cyst which you can read about here

    It would be good to get an appointment with your GP so it can be assessed. If it is causing you pain you may find that you have an infection that needs a course of antibiotics. 

    I hope this helps.

    All the best,

    Catherine
