It hurts to touch my clit, or the area to the right. The swelling just came up today, it's really red. there seems to be a vein or nerve or something that runs from the clit to the end of the lip, and the swelling is right under that. I'm not sure that it's swelling, or if it is a lump, but it is around the size of a marble or smaller, and doesn't not itch. I am sexually active, but I always use a condom and they have never broken. I'm not suer when my last period was, so I don't know if I am late or not, but I am pretty sure I'm not pregnant. What should I do. I am 16 years old by the way, and I am very sensitive down there, even shaving is really hard on my skin, so maybe it's a reaction?

oneNonli answered Thursday June 1 2006, 8:58 am: i think you should go get it checked. if your parents dot know your sexually active, your OBGYN doesnt have to tell them anything so itll be yall little secret unless its an STD, then in that case your parents should be informed by you.

Even if the swelling goes down I would suggest going in and seeing a doctor. What you are explaining doesn't sound like any normal reaction to shaving that I have heard of. The clit is generally the last part to react to shaving or any foreignness as it is more protected then the other areas, so if you aren't having discomfort or swelling anywhere else it's definitely time to see a doctor.
