Diagnosed with a clitoral hood cyst. :-/. First occurrence at 17. Second at 27. After 30, Reoccur more frequently. I have a healthier lifestyle and a husband but I still get very sad & depressed when it occurs. I will cry all day because it takes me back to the first time it occured at 17. It happened after a boy pressed very hard on my clitoral area for a long period and I didn't have the guts to tell him it hurt me. I then had severe trauma and pain and now it looks as if I have the pleasure (sarcasm) of dealing with it forever (hope not, fingers crossed). Anybody know how to manage it? I use a warm washcloth because the doc said that's all they recommend for me. Nobody wants to mess with the delicate tissue and I prefer to be gentle as well. Help? My clitoris is the size of a small grape and it itches :'-(.
