I have been experiencing clitoral pain for about a month, which has worsened over time but is currently stable. The pain is sharp and occurs when the area comes into contact with something or tight clothing. I also have inflammation under the clitoral hood with a small white dot, and the area is super itchy. I am prone to yeast infections but this doesn't seem like one. I have taken flucanazole and have been doing multiple sitz baths for two days.

What could be causing this and what should I do?

No additional dominant masses, spiculated lesions, grouped calcifications, or skin changes were evident. No enlarged axillary lymph nodes. Density B for both breasts. I'll go back for a spot compression and ultrasound if persistent. What do these findings mean, and should I be concerned?
