Hello,
Welcome to this forum.
Probably you could have a yeast infection which is visible as whitish mass. Another option is it is a smegma,which has been dried out. It is not that just men have smegma, but that is not true. Women also have smegma which is the secretion of a sebaceous gland;a cheesy sebaceous matter that collects around the clitoris and labia minora.
I do not think it could be dangerous.Just try to soak it with a saline-water soaked cotton and it will be easily separated.
An yeast infection is also not dangerous as it is a normal resident of vagina.
Just stay clean and stop douching with soap-water or any scented preparation,if you have the practice at all.
Sincerely
I find this answer helpful
