Sharp pain in clitoris after labial tear

I gave birth a week ago and had a labial tear close to my clitoris. I've had a look and the tear seems to be healing very well (it's also not very painful if I carefully touch it) however I have an intermittent pain in my clitoris which is getting worse each day. It feels like the hood has been pulled up leaving the clitoris exposed and it's rubbing against anything it comes into contact with (pads, underwear, hair). Obviously it looks slightly like carnage down there (I had a few other tears too) but the clitoral area doesn't look awry so I'm confused as to why this is the only lingering pain. I'm wondering if, as the labia heals, it's pulling the clitoris in some way that's exposing it and causing it to stick out more than normal? It is driving me mad and stopping me from walking as it feels it could "catch" at any moment. Has anyone experienced anything similar after a labial tear and have any advice? It's frustrating because everything is else is healing so nicely!
