Q: 

What is this moveable lump under the skin next to my clitoris?

I have a jelly bean sized lump that moves out from under the pressure of my fingers when I press on it right beside of and a little above my clitoris on the right side of my body. On the other side, there is one about the size of a pin head. They are hard lumps, but they don't cause me any pain or discomfort, even when I press on them. They are subcutaneous and feel like swollen lymph nodes, but there shouldn't be lymph nodes that far medial lying in that area. They are not on my groin, but within a centimeter of my clitoris. What could these lumps be?

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

You may have skin tags there, or possibly hard bumps from ingrown hairs. You may also have genital warts. Without an examination, it's difficult to say. Your gynecologist can do an exam and let you know more.
Best,
Susan
