Scarleteen

Hello!

I'd like to know if it's possible to get acne on the clitoral hood. I've been on testosterone therapy for a few years, so I'm used to acne arriving where it's least expected, but I also know that there are body parts where you're not supposed to get it.

This doesn't look like any lesion or sore I can associate with any STI, and it does look like acne. (I know that ideally, anything like this would get looked at by a doctor, but as a trans man and a rape survivor I would really love to avoid that trauma if possible.)

All that to say: is it possible to get acne on the clitoral hood?

Hi Keeper!

From what I know, I'd say it's possible to get acne wherever you have skin and pores which can get clogged. So it could be.

But as you say, a doctor would be who could properly identify what it is, if it is indeed something else. Seeing a doctor would be the recommended thing to do, but of course it's your decision.

Aside from that, have you looked at finding a doctor who you'd be more comfortable with? I wonder if that might be handy for you?

Oh, my doctor is wonderful and I'm very comfortable with her, the issue really lies with me. Thanks for your help!

Oh fair enough! Glad I could help!
