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!

Adding in mine! Super glad I'm not the only one. It started in 9th grade with hooorrrible pain down there for weeks but I didn't say anything since no one else I knew was having the same issue. It got so bad in the middle of a class I had to ask to be excused to figure out what was wrong myself. Popping out from the center of the clit was a hair and multiple clumped up with it. Similarly to others, no pain when removed, and it had blonde/white roots even though my pubic hair is darker. I would definitely suggest a mirror or a chair to help prop yourself up because it takes quite a bit of flexibility to see right.
Currently going on to my 2nd year of college and I still don't know why it's like this but I've been getting the issue less frequently!
Best of luck everyone!

Im not sure if hair is growing inside the clit, recently, i had been experiencing the same pain and it was uncomfortable, it has happened before and usually ot disappears for me, but this time while showering, i decided to take it out because i doubted hair could grow from their and i successfully did it, i would assume the pubic hair on your vagina had a stray hair came loose and had the unfortunate occurence of ending up there...which could cause discomfort and might end up turning it red, although i cant be 100% sure, but i would recommend you talking to your doctor of the possibility of a stray hair gettong stuck there...cause ever since i got it out, it doesnt feel bad whenever i move...althought it feels sore after the discomfort i experienced..

My experience is not with growth, but after shaving if your clit is stimulated (sex/orgasm/masturbate) the hair get inside and clit closes. The hair get stuck in there and will be infected if not removed. So I use to stimulate the clit use Vaseline+ Qtip to try to get the hair out.  But there is a easier way. If caught early, Go into a warm shower and use the shower head to rinse your clit, rubb it to stimulated and help clit to relax and open then hopefully the warmer water will rinse the hair out. If it’s too painful to touch, then it’s probably infected. You have to stimulate the clit with lube and then use a mirror try to locate the hair and remove it with Qtip+ Vaseline/coconut oil/tweezer. Then use some betatine mix with water in a bottle and spray the vaginal area with the solution (to help with infection). I hope this help. It’s just a hair that gets caught up in the clit, if you stimulate first it is easier to get the hair out. But the shower idea only works when you caught it early and for loose hair caught Inside the clit. Hope this helps, but the pain won’t go away if the hair stays, and it will get infected! So get it out ASAP!

Hey guys! I’m a 15 year old girl and I have been experiencing this same sharp pain in the same exact spot: under the clitoral hood. Guess what I soon realized? There was a short black, really thick hair sticking out from under there and I was freaked out as to what it was. For 4 months I knew it was there and had been experiencing pain (every once in a while, but it’d be really painful). Guys. If you have this same issue, just pull it out! It’s just hair. In my case though, it was a ton of tiny hair clumped together when I took them out. It honestly didn’t hurt, but it just felt really uncomfortable lol. Also! Use tweezers!! (I just used my fingernails though, because I couldn’t wait for my mom to buy them.

Thank god for this thread!! It seems to be a common issue

P.S just took it out like 30 minutes ago. I’ll comment an update soon :))

I have the same thing. It's unbearably painful and there is a constant stinging, stabbing pain it drives me insane. I've had it about three or four years but I could never find any info on it. I just pluck as much as I can when I build up the courage. Is there any cure?

I have the same experience. but i was lucky enough to realize the problem before the EXTREME pain tortures me further. (seriously hurts so bad that is way worse than ear piercing)i thought i had some diease and was terribly worried. But i took a small mirror, and looked down there, there is a hair that go around my clit,and its also under the hood. Like srsly my clit was swollen so it hurts so bad to even pull the hood back, yet i still did it. As i said i was lucky because it wasnt a growing hair, but a hair that got stuck there, and the end of the hair was slightly above and was easy to pull it out if you find the end. Instant relief.
