Hi,
I understand your query.
Clitoris is a very delicate & vascular organ , slightest of friction, irritation can cause it swollen.
The swelling to clitoris can be caused by friction/ itching ( can be due to diaper, tight undergarment)/trauma, infection, allergy to cosmatics like soap/hair remover ( bacterial,fungal).Infection is characterised by excessive discharge ,itching, burning. It needs examination,investigations , specific treatment.
* You seem to have it due to local irritation only as you don't mention of excess discharge-
I would suggest
- continue cleaning, mopping dry gently with tissue paper & apply betamethasone & chlometrazole ointment. twice/thrice .
-Pain killer pill ( Ibuprofen) if needful.
- avoid source of friction, changing diapers frequently,using cotton ,comfortably fitting under garments.
- Consult gynecologist for repeated trouble/ white discharge -for oral medication as per need.
Thanks.
