A member asked:

It seems like i have extra skin near the clit. what could be the reason why? is this serious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not serious: Extra skin is this area of the clitoral hood is not unusual. There is no particular reason. The skin can be removed if it causing a problem or you do not like the appearance. If the skin has had a sudden change then it should be evaluated by your doctor.
