Brief Answer:
not to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The most common reasons of the bump on the clitoris like you have can be-
.
.1. Sebaceous cyst- due to a blocked sebaceous gland. The secretions start collecting inside and becomes painful. Needs to be surgically removed if infected.
.2 Bartholin's Cyst - Bartholin's cyst is formed when a Bartholin's gland is blocked, causing a fluid-filled cyst to .develop .A local examination is a must for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Till then you can take general cleanliness measures to avoid any infection in that area.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

one thing I forgot to mention months ago it started as a small white pimple I think I touched it too much to see what it is and it turn into this bigger bump but hasn't changed since XXXXXXX does that make more likely to be one cyst like bartholin than the other or vice versa ?
