Have Small Bumps Around Opening Of Vagina, No Itch, Puss, No Pain. What It Might Be?

Hi there, I have small bumps around the opening of my vagina Kind of looks like goosebumps or chicken skin There are some between my inner and outer labia as well. I can really only see them if the skin is stretched. They don t hurt or itch , and are not fluid filled. I ve noticed them before and they haven t seemed to change There is no odor or unusual discharge. Have been to my doctor for regular check ups and std screens but she has never said anything about them before. What are they?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Cysts can occur of many types in the vagina/ vulva.

Some of them are as follows:

1. Skene's duct cysts.

2. Bartholin cysts.

3. Blocked hair follicles, or folliculitis.

While skens duct cysts and bartholin cysts are benign initially, they can be surgically treated if they become big enough or infected.

Blocked hair follicles are often infected by the time they are detected. I think this is not what has happened for you as you do not say any pain or inflammation in the region.

Please discuss openly with your gynecologist and take treatment only if it is troubling you.

Hope this helps

Hi, it appears that nothing is serious , if you are around the age of 25 it is common, and they may be natural projections, and it is not compulsory that every one will have them.
Every now and then you are attending the doctor, and she didn't feel any abnormality. So you can be rest assured that you are safe. Thank you.
