urethral growth?!

hi guys! so recently i've noticed this growth by my pee hole. I first noticed it when I had sex about a month ago and it big and red after the fact. It didn't hurt or cause any pain it was just there. It shrunk after a couple of days. I recently had sex again and it didn't get as big and red as it did the first time but it was still noticeable. It doesn't cause me any pain but i've been tested for STDS everything came back negative. I did have chlamydia in June though, got treated and i did have lingering irritation (i still do from time to time, urge to pee and feeling weird down there) so idk if chlamydia caused me permanent irritation idk. I also started my birth control again in June. When i google what it could be it says it could be a urethral caruncle and they are usually caused by low estrogen and happen with women in menopause but I'm only 23. I am a bit dry and easily irritated down there when I have sex and prone to yeast infections on my BC. I'm scared it could be cancer idk i've been really worried about it. I'm scared to go to the doctor just because there isn't much information about urethral caruncles & i can barely find any information about what it could be and the causes. Any advice would help thanks :,)
