Accepted Answer

Need help?: Please get yourself to a clinician/healthcare provider who can help you with this issue.  Common sense says there is much more pertinent history to be had and proper examination to be done before further help will materialize.  Please help yourself by coming to a clinic.  It is most likely a bacterial infection or urinary tract infection causing inflammation and pain. Thanks for trusting HealthTap

Yeast?: It could be a superficial yeast infection.  Be seen for an exam and treatment.

Question 3

i have a red small sore or pimple on the clitoris hood it is not painful but it gets irritated when i was down there...what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Red pimple: you may have an infection of one of your vaginal glands. See your doctor for possible treatment

Question 4

is a red irritated clitoris signs of yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

If could be: If it’s your 1st possible yeast infection or you aren’t  sure if it’s yeast – see your dr. Symptoms of a yeast infection may include: burning, redness ; itching of the vulva; burning with urination ; vaginal intercourse ; a clumpy, white, vaginal discharge with no odor. Sometimes the discharge isn’t apparent.

Question 5

itchy above clitoris and between external and internal it's red/irritated and itchy. comes and goes but mostly when rubbed against. tests neg for std.?

Accepted Answer

Might be: Yeast or contact dermatitis (skin allergy). You should stop any products used in the area, especially anything with a fragrance. Even fabric softener sheets used in the dryer might trigger something like this. If it doesn't get better, tests for yeast can be done. Allergies are harder to prove. Good luck!

Question 6

i have had a very itchy, red, irritated clitoris. it comes to days at a time and goes for weeks. never had sex ao not sti/std. maybe because i shave?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Stop shaving for a while and monitor. If it still occurs, see your PCP or GYN.

Question 7

found a painless (unless rubbed) sore on skin above clitoris after bathe. it looks really red & irritated. hiv results negative. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: Lumps, bumps, blisters and other skin abnormalities on the genitals need to be evaluated. An examination will be needed to know the cause and treatment. A painful genital sore is concerning for herpes. A painless one is concerning for syphilis. Get tested.

Question 8

i was putting cream on genital psoriasis and noticed that the end of my clitoris is red. id that months ago too and gyn told me it was just irritated not infected. it doesnt itch. ill be able to see gyn in 14 days (cause of covid). is this urgent?

Accepted Answer

: What kind of cream have you used for genital psoriasis? If the clitoris is not swollen, tender or itching, you can wait for GYN appointment. In the mean time, avoid any stimulation to that organ.

Question 9

milky white discharge red dry irritated skin on inner labias dry peeling skin on clitoris musky and metallic smell after sex with a condom?

Accepted Answer

Poss yeast vaginitis: Discharge and redness are very consistent with a yeast vaginitis, but findings could potentially be related to allergy or sensitivity to the material in condoms or lubricant.  I suggest starting with an exam from your doctor or gynecologist.  Yeast infection is very treatable with both vaginal inserts and oral medication and is not considered STD.

Question 10

have a red bump on the top part of my clitoris and it is irritating me but it doesn't really hurt  will it help to soak in epson salt it's been 2 day?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: can be a pimple
can be an early abcess
can be an early herpetic outbreak
recommend warm tub soaks and neosporin ointment twice a day.
if worsens or gets very sore, see your doc.
oral sex can cause minor infection of the clitoris or worse if biting occurs. do not ignore if worsens.
