Hi there.
I'm experiencing a very painfully swollen, kinda itchy clitoral area. I can't distinguish a bump underneath the skin or anything, as the area is a bit of a lump to begin with. I doubt it is a yeast infection, as no other parts seem to be affected. I doubt it is period related, although I suppose it could be. I HIGHLY doubt it is an STD of sorts, though again I suppose it is possible.
This has happened once before, but not to this degree. It was feeling swollen and very irritated when I noticed a sort of pus draining from the skin (NOT from anywhere I expected fluid to come from). I squeezed it out until it drained from opaque to clear, and actually felt much better afterwards. I was very unnerved though and went to the gyno, but I was very nervous and had a hard time describing my issue, and she didn't listen very well. She checked really hard for yeast (even though I had JUST finished a 3 day treatment) and concluded there was some mystery irritant (too tight pants, soap, something) and told me to use some steroid cream.
Now it is happening again, and is even more uncomfortable. I am hoping it will begin to drain like last time, but so far no such luck. Steroid cream has done NOTHING. I am wondering if it is a cyst of sorts? I don't want to go back to the doctor, considering how useless they have always been to me in the past, but I am about at wits end.
Thank you for reading and for any suggestions you might provide!
