Weird bumps.

[looking4answers77]

I'm a girl who just turned 16 and I'm not sexually active.
Recently I noticed these small bumps on my vaginal area, their not really like pimples, they have no odd color to them, no odor and they are not sore, not even when touched. They just look like part of my skin.
The only thing I can think to compare them to are skin tags...When I asked, someone told me you could get them there but I wasn't sure.  The bumps are only located on the upper part of my vagina. I'm kind of scared because I don't know what they are. They don't resemble genital warts, nor any STD I've found.
I simply can't find anything that match this discription.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

you're having an irritation to shaving....can be solved by changing razors or shave gels, or by using conditioner rather than an actual shave gel.....it may be you are shaving too quickly, or that your razor is dull.....i always have 1 razor for my legs/underarms, and 1 for my hoo-haa.....

does it happen after you shave?  i get red dots after i shave and sometimes in gorwn hairs which are not fun at all.

That is exactly what they look like!
The site I found on them had the picture and I was reading about them....
They say it's normal? Hmph...Guess that's one thing they don't teach about in sex ed.

None-the-less, thank you.

You've set my mind at ease now. :-)

look up fordyces spots. and see if they look like that. i have the same exact thing, where they kinda look like goosebumps? i was terrified too, and also i am not sexually active. so i completely understand your confusion. those bumps is actually the reason i signed up for this site.

as much as any teen hates this question lol...can you ask your mom to take you to a dr? often times, things like that can be hormones, or something serious...a doctor can rule out what it is, and apparently these days they sell "skin tag removers" over the counter, something you can do at home in privacy....but before you do that, you want to make sure of what it is....i was 11 when i very 1st noticed something like that, and idk what it was, i just assumed it was "normal" as i didnt know anything about boys lol, and had never done anything....when i was 18, an abnormal pap and colposcopy showed i had hpv....i kept trying to tell the dr, and even had my mom call! that i had found these "spots" when i was a preteen....however, the dr still said i could ONLY have gotten them through sexual contact!  strangely, after 2 years of twice yearly pap's, and about 8 total since then, the alleged hpv has never shown it's face again.....but, apparently i've learned, hpv is also something that can be passed to a baby during a normal delivery, from her mother.....if you're confidant aboutyour absence of sexual contact, and have a good enough relationship with your mom, this is def something you'd want to take to her, as she'd be able to get you into a dr's office, and find the reasoning.....
