They aren't lessions they are like little pimples same color as my vagina I have been diagnosed with bv a lot so I need to know what it is and my camera never captures it they just look like they aren't there and for a while I have had these like years since before I was sexually active
Brief Answer:
Benign spots
Detailed Answer:
Hi
You seem to be having fordyce spots over the genitals.
Many women suffer from Fordyce spots on and around the genital area, on the vagina or vulva.
They are unsightly white or skin coloured pimples or spots that are present on the labia .
These are basically ectopic sebaceous glands on the vagina or vulva and are harmless and can usually be left on their own .
So my advice would be not to worry about these lesions since they are not std and they usually tend to improve with time ,
However ,if you are very worried about these ,you can see your local dermatologist and get these assessed in person .
