What Could A Bump On Labia With White Stuff Around The Clitoris Indicate?

I just noticed a bump earlier today on my the inside of my outer labia. Ive been messing with it and im pretty sure its an ingrown hair. But after i had been pinching it for a few minutes to find out where the hair was i decided to look around my clitoris area and its sort of grey and theres white stuff around my clitoris whenever i expose it? Im really nervous

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Bump on the labia commonly occurs due to ingrown hair but it can be due to a skin cyst, boil or infection due to hair removers or latex. Allergy can also be a common cause. White stuff around the clitoris is usually due to smegma that builds up around the folds of the labia and around the clitoris hood.

However, it can also be due to infection and poor hygiene. Take care of your hygiene and apply topical antibiotic ointments and antibacterial creams in the area affected. Orally you can take a course of doxycyline for faster relieve. However, you are suggested to visit a gynecologist, get clinically examined. Get STD tests done to stay on the safer side if sexually active. If tests are positive you will be treated with antivirals.

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

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
