sorry if tmi, but about 3 days ago I was masturbating and I felt a sore small lump above my clitoris to the right, about the size of a bead or pea. I freaked out and tried googling what it could be but havent really found anything. I'm 16 and not sexually active with anyone. I can't really see the lump as it's under the skin, I can just feel it and I can move it around a little (unless that's just the skin on top moving?). There's no white head or anything on top. It doesn't really hurt at all unless I pinch it or apply pressure. I've tried keeping a heat pack between my legs for the past few nights to try and see if the size reduces, but I haven't noticed anything yet. I'm too worried to talk to anyone about it but I'm really scared it could be something bad, any ideas?

It sounds to me that it could be a cyst or even an abscess. I think you should have an examination to make sure. Meanwhile your warm compresses may well help, but also try soaking in a bath/tub with epsom salts three times a day for 15 minutes. Use only enough warm water to cover the affected area.
There is certainly not TMI! But please see a doctor.
Where are you from, and how old are you? I know it can be embarrassing, but can you speak to your mother? You don't have to mention actual masturbating, just that you felt something. After all, you could have found it when washing.
I hope this helps as a start.

thanks for replying. I'm 16. I'm going to keep trying the warm moist compress for a while since I found a site that said to keep doing that and it should go away within 2 weeks. If not by then or it gets painful I'll go to the doctor. Thank you for the help
