Hello. Yesterday I noticed a hard (but moveable) bump inside my clitoral hood. It s quite sensitive and estimated size of the top of a pencil eraser. Do you know what it could be? It s definitely inside and there is no outside evidence that it s there, minus some swelling.

Hi! this is fairly a common presentation that I get in my clinic for investigation and after full tests what we get is as follows:
1. infection of skin adenexal components like sebaceous glands
2. an inclusion cyst
3. dormant skin infections due to fungus or bacteria
4. a fibroepithelial polyp
5. a neurofibroma or some benign tumor-like lesion!
Therefore this is not a thing for much of worries but you must see a gynecologist just for a clinical examination and opinion regarding necessity of treatment.
regards,
