Hello,my name is dr.Dorina Gurabardhi.I understand your concern.
Many different conditions can cause you to develop bumps around your vagina.
It can be
-Yeast infection. This occurs when a type of yeast that normally lives in the vagina grows out of control.
-Bacterial vaginosis.
-Trichomoniasis. This is a parasite that’s spread through sex.
A colposcopy is necessary to confirm the diagnosis.I suggest you to see a gynecologyst.
Hope my answer was helpful.If you have any other question Ill be glad to help.
Regards,
dr.Dorina Gurabardhi
