Brief Answer:
Varicose veins

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

These spots you have shown appear to be varicose veins of vulva which means they are dilated blood vessels.

However they don't create any problems during delivery or pregnancy. Don't worry about it.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Regards
