Suggest Cause For Lump On Clitoral Hood
.... So I took a shower this morning and found a lump the size of a grape on the outer left side of my clitoral hood that was not there with in the last 2 or 3 days. It s painless, hard, no irritation or color change, no strange or closed discharge. But it s huge and getting bigger... Any general idea of what it could be?

Hi
Thanks for your query
Based on your query, my opinion is
1. Cysts in the genital area most often caused by infection/inflammation of bartholin gland.
2. A small swelling doesn't need to be excised. You can take analgesics if its painful.
3. If the swelling increases in size then you will have to start with antibiotics.
4. Keep the area clean and dry, wear loose fitting inner garments.
Hope this helps
Regards
