Hello and welcome to HCM
Painless bumps on labia include a variety of differentials- genital warts, molluscum contagiosum, skin tags, fordyce spots, etc.
Painful lesions include cysts (Bartholins, skene's duct cyst), folliculitis, blocked & infected sweat glands, genital herpes, etc.
However, clinical examination and subsequent investigations are required to make a diagnosis.
Visit your gynaecologist for further management.
Thanks and take care
