Think I Developed Extra Skin on My Clitoral Hood From Masturbating

Hi Betty,

When I was pregnant, I developed a growth of skin on one side of my clitoral hood.

My OBGYN said she would remove it while I was delivering but for some reason or another it didn't happen. 10 years later, it's getting in my way when I'm trying to masturbate and I feel like it is taking a hit on my self esteem because I think I caused it by the skin to skin friction while masturbating. I've never seen anything like it in your pictures, and I'm shy to see a gynecologist about it now.

I was curious if you've ever seen something like that before, or if it's normal to develop extra skin from masturbating.

Thanks
H

Dear H,

Yes, as a matter of fact I have an extra layer of flesh where I often hold the vibrator when I'm masturbating. It's just an additional design element in my vulva. I'm not one bit concerned about it and you can let go of your concern too.

It's mother nature taking care of business. Happy O's

Dr. Betty
