What Causes Growing Lump On Clitoris?

Hello, i m trying not to be embarrassed here! I have a growth on the end of my clitoris that started about 5 & 1/2 years ago while I was pregnant with my daughter. it was small then and a nurse at my OB clinic said it looked like it was just something that needed to be squeezed out like a pimple. it never could be squeezed out and now it is much larger and it bothers me somewhat.

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

If I were your treating Doctor for this case of old growingclitoral lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1. a sebaceous cyst or retention type mucosal cyst
2. skin or hair follicle infection due to some friction injury
3. in infected adnexal tissue causing some granuloma
     

Overall, it is inflammatory and not worry about this!

I suggest you to go for ice/cold compress in the region with local hygiene and take some topical antibiotics and wait for 2/3 day; if not relieved please go for some microscopic examination and don't forget to write to us again...

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
