Hello,

Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:

1) Small spot or bump may be due to bacterial infection or folliculitis. It needs to be examined clinically.

2) I suggest to take one course of antibiotic (like Cefixime) and apply cream containing Fusidic acid (like FUSIBEST). It will help to eliminate bacterial infection. Maintain genital hygiene properly.

3) Frequent bathing and good hygiene can prevent or resolve this problem, but some women may have narrow openings to their clitoral hood that make it harder to wash away built-up secretions.

If you have recurrent episodes of clitoral pain, you may want to try soaking in a steamy tub and gently moving the skin around the clitoris back and away from the glans — don't tug or forcibly retract the hood since this can cause further pain and irritation. These gentle "stretches" can, over time, widen the opening of the hood, allowing more freedom of movement for both pleasure and washing.

Hope, it helps for your information. Good luck and take care.
