lump on clitorus

[shenna]

I have a lump on the outside of the clitorus hood
it's not painfull to the touch but is a little uncomfertable after touching. it's about 3-4mm in diameter though not really visible if you look at it as seems to be more inside the skin then on top of it and is the same colour as the skin

it's completely smooth (no scabbing or head etc) and solid to the touch

I've had it about 4 days, it came from nowhere and stayed a constant size

I've had a steady partner for 6 years

please can you advise if i should be concerned or get this looked at

I'd have it looked at if I were you, just to rule out anything serious. It's always best to put your mind at ease with a professional opinion if you're at all concerned.

I highly doubt it's an STD. It could be many a number of things.

I had something that sounds exactly like what you described. To this day I still have no idea whatsoever what it was, but I went to a doctor and found out that it is definately NOT an STD.

Note: If you do go to a doctor, do not call it a "sore". I described mine as a sore and they immediately thought herpes. I was scared to death, but the blood tests and cultures came back all negative for herpes. You'd be alot safer calling it "a lump under your skin" (since that's actually what it is, herpes is ON the skin, not IN the skin). I wish I had, it would have saved me a massive headache... Doctor said after all the tests came back that it was probably just a boil.
