    Question

    Okay, so yesterday I was wiping after the toilet and I felt a sting, so I looked where it was and I have a small, red lump above my clitoris. I stupidly squeezed it and some blood came out. I'm really worried about it! I have not had sex but masturbate often (I don't insert any fingers though). I hope I've given enough info, please answer!

    Answer

    1) Stop messing with it. 2) If it hurts, try warm tubs or a hot compress. 3) See a doctor if it does not go away in a week or two, or if it does not act like a pimple.
