Pain in clitoris...?!
Question: i know TMI, but i am too embarrassed to even share this with my doctor or husband!!!
i have this pain in my clitoris, around it and almost as if i'm being stabbed by a tiny needle in it. i looked at the whole are and noticed 2 bits of skin (like sking tags) in the labia minora area. they are so small, but i am worried something is developing. i have been in a monogamous relationship for 3 years and i am sure my hubby has been faithful (and we use condoms, anyway).
can you help???

The hood of the clitoris contains glands that produce a lubricating fluid called sebum, which allows the hood to move smoothly back and forth over the glans and the shaft of the clitoris. When sebum accumulates, it turns into a white, cheese-like substance called smegma. Smegma, in turn, if it is not washed away with frequent bathing, can harden and rub between the hood and the shaft similar to a grain of sand under an eyelid
