Pimples on Outer Labia
So a week ago I noticed a white bump on my outer vagina (on the skin between my leg and the opening to the vagina). It the size and color of a whitehead. Not poppable like a whitehead though. Within a few days I have about 10. All on the one side. (one showed up on the other side of my vaginal opening. but within a few days it disappeared...) No itching, No burning, I wouldn't even have noticed if I wasn't shaving down there. I was very concerned it was genital warts (though it does not look like the pictures of genital warts, I was worried it was the start of it)
So I saw a doctor, who took a look and told me its not genital warts. She said some women have skin down there similar to the bumps on the skin of a chicken. Which I do. She suggested it might be from shaving (which I do) but they don't seem to be ingrown hairs. and it's been over a week since I first noticed them, and two days since seeing the doctor. And there is no change (it's not spreading.. but it doesn't seem to be going away either!)
Any suggestions?? Anyone with something similar?? I was so relieved when she said its not genital warts or herpes I didn't think to ask many more questions. I really want this to go away so I can go back to my normal life!!
