Lump Under Clitoral Hood

I'm 21 and have severe anxiety. A month ago I found a lump that I could feel when touching the *** hood, unsure where it was at this time or what it looked like, however I thought it might have been a spot etc so it would've gone down. It's not gone down and hasn't gotten bigger either. It's only irritable if I'm wearing tight clothes or have my legs crossed. I rang the doctors last week and they put me on some tablets to see if it's an infection but I really doubt this. I managed to get a photo of the lump and it looks like a white spot, it's hard and only can be seen if the hood is really stretched. Im going to ring the doctors when I'm out tablets, but I'm afraid the doctors will dismiss me and tell me it's nothing serious because I'm too young, as they have told me this before with endometriosis. I'm just worried as it's in a really odd place for it to be a spot, infection or cyst. Any advice?

  • 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? 

  • 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.
