Bumps on the labia minora

I'm 17 now, have never been sexually active, and for as long as I can remember I have had these small, strange white bumps all along my labia minora. They almost look like they are filled with pus and would pop, but they are not. They kind of clump together and look pretty strange since they stand out so much.They are a lot more distinctive on the inside, and they have never smelled, itched, or hurt in any way. I have had them for so long (since I was around 6 or 7 maybe? It was a while before I ever took notice of them.) that I often forget they are there, since they don't cause me any discomfort. I have looked up all kinds of stuff on the web trying to find an explanation, but everything leads to a disease or infection, and none of the descriptions fit. I have never been to a gynecologist, and I have never had any kind of problems down there. I'm just confused as to what the hell they are exactly, since anything similar I hear of someone having comes and goes rather quickly. I have had these forever and they have looked exactly the same forever. I can't imagine this being normal, or I feel I would have been educated about it, or that there would be a more readily available explanation. Anyone have a clue?

i have the exact same problem, save for that my bumps arent white, their the color of my skin. i had discomfort with one, and poked it, and it hurt like hell. i applied slight pressure to one of the bumps, it hurt at first, then all feeling knocked out of it, and i cut it away. didnt hurt, or bleed. clueless, and scared to death. let me know if you find out anything.

Okay so I have the same problem as you with my labia minora there are a lot of those little white bumps and you can see them on both sides but are more distinctive on the inner side. There is as well no discomfort or anything. It just does not look right. I am and have never been sexually active.
