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

[rachel007]

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!

It may well be an ingrown hair. It could be cooled up inside the follicle itself. With ingrown hairs you normally just have to bare the pain of extraction. But if it causes you that much pain, then I would see a Gyno and discuss it with them. Repost pls, if what you did and if it worked

Girl, pluck the hair! You need to so it stops the pain. The clitoris is extremely sensitive the pain will be relieved by removal of the hair. It won’t even hurt that bad and it won’t mess anything up. I literally just had the same feelings and pain as you did about an hour ago and checked out my clitoris and saw there was a blonde hair stuck in between my hood and my clitoris (from shaving yesterday), I removed it and all the pain and discomfort is gone. Not 100% your situation but I highly recommend you just pluck it. Trust me!

One can try to use anesthetic (Lidocaine) ointment before removing the hair. The ointment or spray will numb the area rot some time area and there will be no pain. Try it.

I'm so glad I found this thread! I have a nursing degree and had no clue! I woke up one morning with some clitoris pain but, I ignored it for two days. Days later it's still irritated. I slap some coconut oil on it as I always do but to know avail. Then I decide to pull my hood back and I see a sore and smegma! And I'm like what?! I have been STI tested and came back clean for everything months ago and I have not been sexually active since. So I figured maybe I flicked my bean too hard and my nail cut it or something. At this point I'm mad and annoyed bc it's like, whhhyyyy me?! A day goes by and I decide to look again and that's when I notice a hair up under my hood.. it's small. I have never in my life had a hair under my hood (I'm 33). I soak my tweezers in peroxide and dip them in Vaseline and pull the hair out with no pain :)
I slapped more Vaseline just to help with irritation and it not rubbing against my panties etc..
I think my case is just a loose hair getting caught up under there. I'm praying to the Almighty himself that the hair is the cause of my sore and that it goes away!! I think the hair was there for about a week. Will update and let you ladies know if the sore goes away :)

P.s. The site deleted my comment when I made an account so, I had to rewrite it again off memory. Not sure if the comment had to be approved so if this is posted twice, sorry!!

The hair was the culprit!! A few days after getting it out... it healed and everything is back in working order. I can't believe such a small thing could cause so much turmoil! Glad its over!

Same thing happens to me. I frequently get hairs under my hood. I started noticing it a few years ago. Sometimes its stray hairs from shaving, sometimes its fuzz or lint, sometimes its dog hair, sometimes its little bits of toilet paper. All of these things can end up in there from your laundry, and towels. It happens from either your clothes or when youre drying off the area after bathing. The holes and discoloration people describe can be from the hair being there for so long that it actually stabs a hole or embeds there, or can just be erosion from it rubbing there for so long. Its not comfortable to dig around under there. I use the end of a thin qtip dipped in some lube to try to dig it out and then use the tweezers to grab it. The lube is a great help as theres less friction and pain. It happens so often to me that im always aware of whats going on under there after i shave or feel any kind of discomfort.
As for it growing under there, it hasnt happened to me personally, but i wouldnt be surprised. Be careful when poking around, the skin is really thin and tears easily. Good luck ladies, and knowledge is power!

Dusting some baby powder helps to find the hair because it shows up immediately! Trust me it helps if you can't see where the hair is.

I had this problem and went to a doctor. Said I have a fused clitoral hood, which means I can't pull it back, so things are more likely to get trapped inside, like hair and smegma. It can be like that from birth, or develop from a disease that causes scarring in that region. I think mine has always been this way. Can be corrected by surgery, but its optional.

I seriously thought I was the only one, or doing something wrong... I've experienced this for probably 5-6 years now from my college years to just 5 minutes ago when I pulled another out and finally thought, "I should google this".  Thankfully I was raised very sex and body conscious/positive and so in college when I felt a pain I dug around up there until I saw and pulled out a clump of hairs from under the clitoral hood.  (I wasn't scared of "plucking" them as I figured they'd gotten stuck.)  I've dealt with this approximately monthly since then... just always figured it was hairs trapped from shaving, and have gone through great pains to try and ensure no hair gets caught.  Well, I finally noticed that they have the follicle root at the end and finally had to wonder, egad, does it grow up there?  I will be asking my gyno about this when I go in in a few weeks, see if she's seen anything like it, and if not, hopefully educate her.  I wonder if stray follicles under the hood are present and they activate according to hormonal balance/changes, or what's up with that.  But based on how careful I've been with what underwear and loose clothing I wear, and shaving procedures, I am 99% convinced it's growing up there.  Good thing it doesn't hurt to remove!  Now I can just be on the lookout and give myself a quick 'exam' every time I come out of the shower for new ones.
