What Causes Hard Movable Lump Above The Clitoris?
Hello, Yesterday while having sex i notices hard pea sized moving ball on the right side above my clitoris under the skin of my labium majora. Day after i still feel it there but it s little bit smaller and tender. It doesn t cause me pain but i feel discomfort if i press it. I stimulate the area around my clitoris recently while sex or when i masturbate but i have not noticed such a under skin little ball until now. It am worried because i have no any idea what the possible reasons for its appearance could be.

hi.
based from your description, it could be folliculitis. this usually occurs after shaving, when hair is accidentally pulled out and inflammation and infection occurs, or when there's an irritation or an inflammatory reaction from chemical contents of your feminine wash. inflammation from uninfected follicles will subside in a few days time on its own. if the lesion, gets infected, a cyst or an abscess formation might ensue. if symptoms persist, a consult with your gynecologist is best for clinical evaluation. management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
