please someone help me..clitoris hair? bad pain..

I've posted a million times about this..but I finally think I know what is wrong now...so now I just need to figure out how to fix it...
I have a doctor's appointment in late august, so until them I'm sorta screwed..but for the past few months I've had this sharp pain in my clitoris, that gets worse when I rub it or it rubs on clothes, etc...a few months ago I noticed a hair growing into the clit, like at the very top, under the hood. I'm 99 percent sure that is the cause of my distress..I'm sick of peopole saying you can't grow a hair there...you can..I've read a few  people on the internet who had the same problem as me, just less pain.
Today I took a warm bath and soaked in it, trying to help, but when I got out, I felt the hair sticking out even more, extremely painful to the touch. My theory is that the warm water helped the hair like pop out more, you know waht I  mean? like how they say if you want to pluck your eyebrows, you should take a hot bath first to open the pores and let the hair out more?
Well anyways, the pain is extreme, and I need an idea to get rid of it, I don't think I can pull it out, I definitely won't shave it, and I CAN"T GO TO THE DOCTOR YET....and I really don't want to pluck it..Eventually it will have to fall out on its own right? It used to be really short and its getting to be pretty long now so its obviously growing..If anyoene can help me I will be EXTREMELY thankful...I've been suffering for so long, please help.
If anyone has an idea I would love to hear it!

I’ve had this since age 12, I’m 27.
These things helped me: (Keep in mind I am sensitive to the fact that extreme pain can be involved, but after a point dealing with this problem is better than not being able to sit stand or walk w/o plain.)
1. Use a dusting of baby powder on the affected area.  It helps to find hairs that otherwise wouldn’t normally be visible.
Then you can possibly see what you’re dealing with.
2. Use a tweezers and pull hairs out, or, if they’re too small or in too far, take a bath or shower and pull hood up to expose hairs and try to wipe them away or use a squirt bottle with warm water to force the hairs to rinse out.  
3.Masturbate if it’s not too painful.  Get horney enough so you want it bad enough to have an orgasm, bc the clit gets engorged with blood and the enlargement combined with rubbing can expose and force out hair (or smegma that’s become hardened-which can also irritate.)
Try to relax when doing these unconventional procedures. It helps to prevent poking.
Also, I’ve done all these, and just depends on how long the hair is, if you can see it or not or grab it or not or location.  You can overcome this!  If I could after going to so many doctors, you can use my trials and just get it over!

My hair was removed yesterday by my obgyn and I also happened to have a laser
Treatment scheduled that evening so had him zap all the hair follicles around clit. My clitoris and body of my clitoris are so swollen and painful, like the size of a golf ball. I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried epsom salt compresses and am now icing it. Have you had this happen to you and if so, how did you take care of it? To get the swelling if the clitoral body to go down?
I think this poster is speaking of an errant hair that wraps around the clitoris causing blood to be cut off. It's actually an emergency if that happens similar to this same thing happening with male's penis. For your situation, I would call your doctor if this hasn't resolved and hopefully it has. Similar to what they give women who give birth, they do have an analgesic spray that might help in situations like this.

So glad that this thread exists! I can't find anything else about this issue online!

I have had the same pain being described on and off for years and put it down to over sensitivity. This week I have had the pain and decided to investigate and saw a couple of hair poking out! Pulled them out with clean tweezers there was one single hair, and  like some comments before there were about 3/4 very fine light hairs stuck together. I wonder why they stick together like this?

So glad I'm not the only one, feeling frustrated for those of you who have been ignored by doctors etc.  I know this thread is a bit old now, but just wanted to add to the other ladies chiming in to let you know your alone!

EDIT: I just want to add there was absolutely no pain when I pulled the hairs out, but obviously be careful down there!

Im not sure if hair is growing inside the clit, recently, i had been experiencing the same pain and it was uncomfortable, it has happened before and usually ot disappears for me, but this time while showering, i decided to take it out because i doubted hair could grow from their and i successfully did it, i would assume the pubic hair on your vagina had a stray hair came loose and had the unfortunate occurence of ending up there...which could cause discomfort and might end up turning it red, although i cant be 100% sure, but i would recommend you talking to your doctor of the possibility of a stray hair gettong stuck there...cause ever since i got it out, it doesnt feel bad whenever i move...althought it feels sore after the discomfort i experienced..

I have been dealing with this for almost 10 years! I didn't know what was wrong until about 5 years ago.  I too have been to multiple doctors telling them I can feel a sharp prick on my finger right by my hood.  None could ever find anything.  I decided to get a mirror and flashlight and pull it out myself.  Now I get a couple out about every 6 months or so(with the help ofy husband). I'm so glad to know that others are experiencing the same issue!

My experience is not with growth, but after shaving if your clit is stimulated (sex/orgasm/masturbate) the hair get inside and clit closes. The hair get stuck in there and will be infected if not removed. So I use to stimulate the clit use Vaseline+ Qtip to try to get the hair out.  But there is a easier way. If caught early, Go into a warm shower and use the shower head to rinse your clit, rubb it to stimulated and help clit to relax and open then hopefully the warmer water will rinse the hair out. If it’s too painful to touch, then it’s probably infected. You have to stimulate the clit with lube and then use a mirror try to locate the hair and remove it with Qtip+ Vaseline/coconut oil/tweezer. Then use some betatine mix with water in a bottle and spray the vaginal area with the solution (to help with infection). I hope this help. It’s just a hair that gets caught up in the clit, if you stimulate first it is easier to get the hair out. But the shower idea only works when you caught it early and for loose hair caught Inside the clit. Hope this helps, but the pain won’t go away if the hair stays, and it will get infected! So get it out ASAP!

While I was masturbating i decided I wanted to watch so I brought a mirror and I notice a small hair. I WAS IM SHOCK. I wanted to remove it asap so I kinda pulled it out with my fingers a little bit and after that with the soft part of my index and thumb press the hood together like a pimple. I REPEAT WITH THE SOFT PART OF YOUR FINFERA NOT YOUR NAIL. And it should come out easily. IM NOT A DOCTOR I JUST DID IT.
