Brief Answer:
It could be infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

Is there pain at that site? If there is pain and swelling an the site of clitoris, it can be an infection..

I would like know how is started? Is it after shaving, sex or masturbating.. These are triggering factor for infection..

If it is infection, get a swab from the area and antiinflammatory drugs along with local application of antibacterial cream is advised.. Warm sitz bath has to be taken twice daily..Avoid excessive use of soap in that area.. Keep the area dry.. In case there is an abscess, it has to be drained..

Hope I have answered your query..Feel free to ask any doubts.. good day

Thanks, doctor!! My husband and I had sex. I am glad it is no STD.

Prior to receiving your reply, I only had Balmex for diaper rashes to coat the area. Thanks for the recommendation.
