What Causes Extra Greenish Skin Growth Under Clitoris Hood?

I have a small green thing right under the clitoris hood and it kinda pokes out when I m aroused, right below it next to the actual it there s chunky white/yellow stuff. I m planning on being sexually active in a few months and I m kinda self conscious could this be fixed with douching or just washing better?

Hi

It is never a good idea to do vaginal douching as it can increase the chance of a vaginal infection by changing the pH of the vagina.

Based on the symptoms you have described, it sounds like you may have vaginal candidiasis. HEre are a few things that can help.

Wearing loose cotton clothing
Drinking lots of water and using a probiotic
Trimming the groin hair to maintain vaginal hygiene
Using a vaginal wash or sitting in a mild sitz bath
Drinking cranberry juice
Using unscented personal care products would also help

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

Take care

Regards,
