Once Bitten, Twice Shy

About 3 weeks ago, my partner accidentally bit my clitoris while he was administering oral sex. It bled lightly for a day or so, was a little tender and I thought it had healed. About a week ago, I began to get really tender there again, and then I noticed some swelling, and a lump... followed by intense pain whenever the lump/bump was touched. The pain has gotten so bad I can't walk without it almost throbbing... and I woke up this morning to sheets covered in blood. I'm not thinking it's an STD, but I could be wrong?

Thank you for responding. I started a round of antibiotics & a steroid z-pack last night and I have been administering triple antibiotic ointment, it's not hurting like it was.. If the antibiotics and steroids don't do the trick, I'll definately be making an appointment next week.

It could be an STD but with you saying your partner bit you by accident it does sound that this bump is a result of the trauma to your clitoris caused by the bite.
It could be an infection, but not a sexually transmitted one..it's sounding like its not healed properly, and needs cleaning properly with an ointment.
I would go to your doctor and explain things, you might just need some oral antibiotics, and/or an antibiotic cream.
Good luck
