Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of clitoral lump, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1. inflamed benign cyst like sebaceous cyst

2. folliculitis, infection at the base of a hair

3. benign tumor like conditions like papilloma, polyp or fibroma

Nothing to worry about these also!

Just take cold compress and local antibiotic lotion and wait for 1/2 days!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
