Is A Rigid And Bumpy Appearance On The Labia Minora Normal?
Question: Is it normal for a Labia Minora to have a bumpy , rigid goose bump appearance on the outer ridge
Brief Answer:
Can be normal.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Labia minora has a bumpy loose goose bump appearance due to the mucosal folds of vagina associated with it.
It is normal but can be due to a herpes infection also if the area is painful.
In case there are no symptoms then there is no need to worry and consider it as a normal variation.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
