I Have Small Bumps All Over My Labia Minora Inspite Of Having No Sex
Hi, I'm a 15 year old girl, I have never had sex of any kind but I have small bumps all over my labium minor. It feels like little grains of sand under the skin and you can only see them up close. They don't itch or hurt at all but I'm worried because I've had them for over a year.

Hi,
The small bumps over your labium minor are called sebaceous (oily) glands. They are more prominent during adolescence (as you are in) due to hormonal changes.
They have nothing to do with having sex.
Candida rash is also common among young girls as you independently from having sex.
Take good hygiene of your genitalia and wear always cotton panties.
