What is this bump on my clitoris?

about 5 months ago, i found a bump on my clitoris, right under the clitoral hood. it has only grown a little in size, but has not gone away. since i have discovered it, i have been certain to wash thoroughly, and have tried baths and hot compresses to remove it. no luck. it looks white/yellow in color, and there is no pain, itching, or burning associated. i have not experienced any other symptoms either as far as discharge, or whatever else would go. i am certain it is not herpes, and it does not look like smegma. it is round and although it was not hard at first, it feels hard now. i am worried because it appears to be attaching itself to my clitoral hood, not entirely, but somewhat. i have had the gardisal shot, and am not sure if this is some type of wart or some kind of cyst. and depending on whatever it is, i am not sure how to go about scheduling a checkup for it. i have had a pap recently and everything came back fine. i have withdrawn myself from the prospect of any sexual/romantic interaction ever since discovering it, and am desperate for answers.
