Hallow Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

You have mentioned that you are not sexually active. OK. But do you practise masturbation. Masturbation, particularly external with labia minora and/or clitoral stimulation may cause irritation to the clitoris leading to clitoral pain or discomfort. Cold fomentation with ice might help you to get relief. If the pain is unbearable, you may opt for some painkiller tablets.

Sometimes, vaginal discharge, particularly fungal infection of vagina do cause clitoral inflammation and discomfort. Though such infestation is sexually transmitted infection, it is very well known to affect even the virgins who use commode. Do you have any white, curdy vaginal discharge with flakes? If so antifungal vaginal pessaries will help you.

Also, please check your panties. If you have recently changes the brand or are using synthetic material panties, they may cause allergy and inflammation. In such case, you may try changing the type of underwear. Local application of some steroid cream for few days will give you relief from this.

Whatever the underlying cause from above, perineal wash by lactobacilli (Lactacyd) will help you regain the normality of the private parts and offer you relief.

I hope this helps you.
