What Causes A Small White Bump On Clitoris In A Sexually Active Person?

I have a small white bump on my clitoris. I am currently sexually active, but I ve had this bump long before I had even kissed a boy, let alone performed any form of sex.I m leaning towards the idea that it may be a cyst, being that it is white and a bit harder (not sure if it s the most accurate word to describe but it s the only one I got), and will not pop.It doesn t cause any discomfort whatsoever unless I try and pop it, which I used to do but have since given up as it didn t get rid of it.How do I get rid of this white bump?

Hi,

Bumps in Labia could be due to many conditions like your hair removal technique, infectious conditions like sebaceous cyst or Fordyce spots, Bartholin's cyst, genital herpes or warts. I advise you to:
- Use body wash like benzoyl peroxide 5% prior to your  hair removal techniques
- A course of antibiotics if needed
- Daily sitz bath
- Analgesics (Ibuprofen) if pain is there
- Avoid using tampons as it may worsen your symptoms
- Wear cotton inner wear
- Maintain good hygiene

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
