Female 19 worried about a lump

I noticed a spot at the top of my clitoris which has since faded but I’ve just noticed a lump in the side of my clitoris. I had to have surgery over the summer due to an abscess on my *** which was very painful however this isn’t, I have really bad anxiety and am wandering what it is as I’m unable to call a doctor at the moment 

  • Hello there.

    I’m just a normal person, but my advice is don't wait to seek medical advice. Phone 111 (NHS24) and speak to them and explain what's going on. Chances are it will  be not as serious as you may think but please don't put off making that call.

    Good luck.

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    I can understand your concern. But it isn't very likely to be anything serious such as cancer. It is common to get blocked cysts near the clitoris area. The NHS website has information on

    bartholins cyst They usually go down on their own, having warm baths can help soothe. Sometimes though, they need antibiotics to clear up. If it persists, then do seek the advice of your GP.

    I hope this helps,

    Best wishes,
