What Causes Yellow Thing On Clitoris?

uum on the clitoris there seems to be a yellow ovalish thing that has been there since I was a little girl. I looked at diagrams of the vagina and only saw that it said something about the produce of the clitoris. Is that it? Is it bad? Or should it be taken out? Should it be there?

Hi,

According to your description the structure you mentioned could be the clitoral hood, which is the fold of skin that surrounds the clitoris. It is female equivalent to foreskin in males. The color and shape of this hood can vary from person to person. If you are not having any symptoms like itching, pain, discharge,etc. no need to worry. You do not need any treatment for this. It can be left like that and no need to remove, as it is a normal part of the external genitalia.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sree Gouri S. R., OBGYN
