Hello and welcome to HCM,
Swelling of clitoris can occur due to infection like bacterial or fungal.
Bacterial infection is characterized by formation of boil or pus collection.
Swelling can occur due to fungal infection.
Topical application of anti-fungal cream may be helpful.
If topical application of anti-fungal ointment is not helpful, you may need to consult your gynecologist.
Till the time infection is present, avoid unprotected sex.
Thanks and take care
