What Causes Painful Lump In The Clitoris?

I had some pain in my clit area for a few days and when I finally checked it out I had a lump that was fairly large in size and looked like it had yellow pus in it. After taking a hot shower when I woke up the next day, I had no more pain and the lump was a lot smaller but it is pretty red. It still keeps getting smaller very slowly and it doesn t hurt anymore but I m still wondering if I should go to the doctor?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Painful lump could be due to hair follicle infection, infected sebaceous gland, vesicle and cyst like batholin's cyst.
Vaginal examination by the gynecologist is must for the diagnosis.
Following treatment will useful:
Application of mupirocin ointment
Warm pad application
Frequent hot bath and then apply aaple cidar vinegar
Maintain proper pelvic hygiene by using V vaginal plus wash
Wear pure cotton loose inner
Other specific treatment will depend o the cause.
Hope this may help you
