Could A Red Bump On Clitoris Be Symptom Of Cancer?

Could a rough looking red bump on the side of my clitorious be cancer ? I have been on my period for about 2 days and I noticed it popped up about 3 days ago. It has some throbbing pain and I can literally grab it as if there was a ball under my skin. Thank you

Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your description, I don't think it is due to cancer.
Swelling on the side of clitoris can be due to
1. Benign cyst (Bartholin's cyst)
2. Infection.
So better to consult gynecologist and get done clinical examination.
Possibility of Bartholin's cyst is more. It is benign swelling, commonly seen in young females.
No treatment is required if it is asymptomatic.
Since you are having pain, possibility of infection is high and thus surgical removal is needed.
So consult gynecologist and discuss all these.
