Hi I'm having the same issue. There's a small spot like thing under my clitoris hood. I'm only just turned 18 years old and it's freaking me out. I haven't called the doctors yet because I'm too embarrassed. It doesn't hurt and there's not really any discomfort but just knowing it's there is scary. You can only see if when the hood is stretched. As it's a really odd place for a spot did they doctors get back to you? 

Hi I'm having the same issue. There's a small spot like thing under my clitoris hood. I'm only just turned 18 years old and it's freaking me out.

I have the same too, or something similar. I've just turned 18 but I've known it's was there for just over a year. I didn't go to the doctors because of lockdown and then I forgot about it. It's bigger now still doesn't hurt though but can be uncomfortable. Did go to the doctors in the end ? 

I haven't gone to the doctors yet. I jus really haven't had the time. I was meant to book an appointment but I genuinely forgot. Mine is still painless and I feel like it has grown. But some days it looks a little bigger but then the next it doesn't, it looks small again if that makes sense. Does that happen to uu? 

Erm... sometimes maybe. I just feel like it was so tiny to start of with so I'm not sure as it's never gone back to being that small. I'm currently being tested for POCS but I've checked and it has nothing todo with that. I might mention it the at my next appointment. I just really don't want the physical exam. It doesn't hurt but I Do find sometimes it's starting to get uncomfortable. 

Mine so far hasn't been uncomfortable but I've only noticed mine like a month or so ago. But I don't know how long it's been there for. The fact that I've never done anything sexual before ik it's obviosuly not an sti. but then I start deeping what if somethings wrong with me yk. Do uu mind letting me know what the doctors get back to you with? And same I think that's partly the reason why I don't want to go to the doctors as I'm scared of a physical exam. 

Hi and thanks for posting

Many people post finding similar spots or lumps around their vulval area . No one can diagnose here, but it's not unusual to sometimes find blocked sebaceous glands around this area or a cyst like a Bartholins cyst. These are common and not connected with cancer.

The GP sees lots of women and teenage girls with similar concerns so don't feel embarrassed - it's always best to get things like this checked out, if anything, also for peace of mind. You can always ask the practice nurse to come in if you feel more comfortable with someone else being there.

A gynaecological cancer in your age group is extremely rare but it's good to keep an eye on anything that is new or bothering you .

So do make an appointment

All the best

I have the exact same thing as you and I've had it before I'm 19 now and like you say it worrying knowing it there but don't want to go tp the doctors

Hello e21010i2e and thanks for posting, 

A lot of people with health concerns turn to the internet to try and work out what is the matter, but it is no substitute for see a doctor which is almost always the advice we give. It is worth it for the peace of mind. If the thought embarrasses you, you can ask to see a female doctor or nurse.  

I hope it is easy for you to get an appointment sorted out so you can find out what this lump is- hopefully it won't turn out to be anything serious. 

Best wishes,

Julia

ive had this before and I know exactly what you mean it's like a hard small pea size lump inside the hood and when you pull back the hood you can see the white lump. So I recently learnt that masturbation can cause this and it happens if you're not cleaning under the hood very well after. So what worked for me was placing a warm flannel on top of the clitoris and then squeezing it out. If starts to bleed or you're in pain immediately stop and maybe contact your doctor. 
 

best wishes xx

Hi! I know you posted this a while ago, but I have a pea size lump next to my ***, i near enough masturbate everyday, I went to the doctors today and she said it's thrush, it's painless and it doesn't itch. So worried it's cancer 

Hello, and thanks for posting. 

As you say it has been a while since this person posted so I thought I would respond so you got an answer.

Today you saw a doctor and they reviewed you and told you that you have thrush which is quite common. Cancer of the vulva is a rare cancer and is usually seen in women who are 75 and over. We have no data currently of somebody of your age with this cancer in our statistics.

If you remain concerned and the treatment doesn't help do go back to your GP and talk through your worries. It would also be good to chat to an adult you trust about your anxieties about your health.

Take care and I hope this all gets sorted for you soon.

Sarah.
