please someone help me..clitoris hair? bad pain..

I've posted a million times about this..but I finally think I know what is wrong now...so now I just need to figure out how to fix it...
I have a doctor's appointment in late august, so until them I'm sorta screwed..but for the past few months I've had this sharp pain in my clitoris, that gets worse when I rub it or it rubs on clothes, etc...a few months ago I noticed a hair growing into the clit, like at the very top, under the hood. I'm 99 percent sure that is the cause of my distress..I'm sick of peopole saying you can't grow a hair there...you can..I've read a few  people on the internet who had the same problem as me, just less pain.
Today I took a warm bath and soaked in it, trying to help, but when I got out, I felt the hair sticking out even more, extremely painful to the touch. My theory is that the warm water helped the hair like pop out more, you know waht I  mean? like how they say if you want to pluck your eyebrows, you should take a hot bath first to open the pores and let the hair out more?
Well anyways, the pain is extreme, and I need an idea to get rid of it, I don't think I can pull it out, I definitely won't shave it, and I CAN"T GO TO THE DOCTOR YET....and I really don't want to pluck it..Eventually it will have to fall out on its own right? It used to be really short and its getting to be pretty long now so its obviously growing..If anyoene can help me I will be EXTREMELY thankful...I've been suffering for so long, please help.
If anyone has an idea I would love to hear it!

I have been dealing with this for almost 10 years! I didn't know what was wrong until about 5 years ago.  I too have been to multiple doctors telling them I can feel a sharp prick on my finger right by my hood.  None could ever find anything.  I decided to get a mirror and flashlight and pull it out myself.  Now I get a couple out about every 6 months or so(with the help ofy husband). I'm so glad to know that others are experiencing the same issue!

While I was masturbating i decided I wanted to watch so I brought a mirror and I notice a small hair. I WAS IM SHOCK. I wanted to remove it asap so I kinda pulled it out with my fingers a little bit and after that with the soft part of my index and thumb press the hood together like a pimple. I REPEAT WITH THE SOFT PART OF YOUR FINFERA NOT YOUR NAIL. And it should come out easily. IM NOT A DOCTOR I JUST DID IT.

I'm 31 years old. I have been suffering from mysterious clit/vulvar/urethra pain for almost 6 months. I've been to my family doctor three times, she's run tests for UTI, STD's, pap, bacteria, etc... and of course they always come back clean. The last visit I had she prescribed a combination fungicide and steriod cream to apply. I applied it all over my vulva and felt some immediate relief but it didn't last more than a few hours.

So hmm I thought the steriod must have calmed the inflammation, but from what? So I sat down after a shower and tried to lift up the hood to take a look at my clit. It hurts so bad to pull back the hood and I've never done it in my life.

I noticed some smegma coming out right above my clit so I squeezed it gently and this orange pus came out (ewww) followed by two public hairs that obviously got trapped in there from shaving. I felt almost immediate relief (my hood is really sore from being pulled back because it's so tight but I'm hopeful that it'll heal).

Now I have a pinhole there that I'm trying not to disturb and will keep an eye on it in case it gets infected. Who'd have thought?

So I didn't have hair growing there (but I believe all of you that say it does grow there) but the trapped hair had been plaguing me for months! I am 100% certain it got trapped there after shaving at some point. I am so glad I'm not alone, thank goodness for websites like this :) Thanks everyone for sharing your stories. Feel good to not be crazy and not be alone. Take care.

I have had the same thing- an occasional super sore clitoris that is way sensitive to the touch and very uncomfortable. While taking a bath one day, I pulled the hood back and there was a hair that I figured must've been a stray that had gotten stuck up there and pulled it right out. This morning I had the same sensitivity and there was a hair again. Easy to pull out but had a follicle at the end so now I know that it's growing from there. Sorry to closed minded dr bf but you are wrong. You must be a man- telling women what's possible and not with our bodies instead of listening... so irritating. Anyway- it's obviously possible if so many experience it. Sad that because of women being told that we must be crazy, so many don't even trust their own eyes and what they've found to be true. Glad I found this- so we all know we aren't alone!

WOW! Love the internet!!! This just happened to me today and I'm glad to find I'm not the only one! I'm 32.
Had discomfort for months, but just thought it had something to do with the cathider I had while I gave birth.
Today, took a mirror, saw a black spot under the hood and freaked!
Went to pull it and had instant pain.....pulled again and a small clump of about 8 fine hairs an inch long came out with the folicle at the end!
I was shocked! No more discomfort!
Thanks everyone for posting your stories!!

i had the same problem, few years ago I was doing some exploring and noticed 2 hairs under my clit hood!! I thought it was normal and everyone has it. I tried to touch it but was scared!! So i left it alone and few times I would have sharp pain in my clit and then also I ignored it but today searched on google and got no results but when I searched more I landed here and the answers here were different, people said to pluck it out and you will have no pain but some people had pain!! I was scared so I decided that I will try to pluck them out and if they come out without any problem then the problem will be solved but if I had pain I will consult a gynecologist. So just now I tried to pluck them out and guess what they came out easily they were only stuck there!!!!! i took them out without any pain.But if you have pain pls consult a doctor
