Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What swollen lump you are complaining of having beside clitoris appears to be bacterial infection called 'carbuncle'.
Kindly do the following to overcome it:
1. Wash the area thoroughly by using mild antiseptic like Savlon thrice a day.
2. After drying, apply Neomycin skin cream over the lesion.
3. Take Tablet. Ibuprofen twice a day after food.
4. Wear loose fitting undergarments and abstain from any form of sexual activities till the lesions heal completely. Take care to maintain good genital hygiene.
Gradually, the lesions should heal completely.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
Wish you good health.
