Lump On The Clitoral Hood, Swollen Labias With Pain. Have Endometriosis. Are These Related?
I have a lump on or near my clitoral hood, the labias are swollen. Causing a lot of pain. The swelling has gotten worse everyday. Started out as a small pea sized lump near the clitoral hood Tuesday then grew, now it s worse. I have tried dry heat and sitz baths nothing is helping. Also I have endometriosis---not sure if it s connected.

Thanks for query on HCM.
It looks to boil or any hair root infection,most likely it is bacterial infection.
It usually occurs due to bad hygiene,after sex.
You have to take proper antibiotic like amoxy/clavulinic to subside infection and nsaid to subside swelling,pain.
Take proper local care,avoid tight undergarment and avoid sex till get complete cure.
Keep in touch with your gynecologist.
