weird bumps on labia minora (terrified)

i am 18 yrs old and 2 months ago i decided to look at my labia minora. near the vaginal opening on the bottom, i have like a stand of bumps. they are the same color as the rest of the labia minora. they look similar to swollen taste buds that are kind of spread out. both sides of the labia seem to have it, but way more so on the right side. i am worried they might be warts, although they do not look like the ones i see online. does hpv go away on its own after awhile?? please help me! i have been stressing for 2 months over this and i do not want to go to a gyno...

First of all, go to your GYN. If you don't have one, get one. You can deal with whatever it is; natural skin irritation, warts or some other type of infection.

That said, some of us have the type of labia minora skin type that is oerly sensitive. It will develop bumps in response to stress, soap type, sex, etc. If you have that type of labia minora, and you've been to your doctor, just accept it and live with it. It's not an infection and there's nothing wrong with you. Enjoy your life!

Hi I'm 15 and I've been sexually active with two people, but they were 4 months apart and I haven't been active with anyone else since October. I've noticed that my labia is very rough and bumpy on both sides and I have one bump on the left side. I'm very scared and have no idea what it is or why my labia is so gross and bumpy and rough. Please please please help me I am so.scared and I have no idea what is wrong with me.

so I am 15 and I had sex with one person with a condom(it did not brake) and the next day i got these very very very tiny bumps on the part of my labia minora. first it started on the right side then to the left. the bumps look like your taste buds after your you drank some really hot coffee and you burnt your tongue. they do not hurt, they do not itch, burn, nor smell. at first i thought i had an yeast infection because of my discharge but my discharge is back to normal. so what or these bumps plus i cant see a doctor :(. i need help can anyone tell me what this could be.

P.S. i DO NOT have any pain urinating or any flue like symptoms

I am 24 yrs old and pregnant (17 wks) with my first child. There are many things that are new to me. I have noticed some small (soft, not rough or hard) bumps on the outside of my vagina and was a little worried. They seem to flatten out at different times, which is strange, because they re-appear. My husband and I have never been intimate with anyone else, so I'm not worried about disease. I'm thinking it might be some sort of fungus or yeast reaction? I am very prone to UTI's, but haven't had any since I've been pregnant (due to all the yogurt, cottage cheese, and vitamins I've been taking).
I'm a little embarrassed to address the issue with my midwife... and my husband doesn't seem worried... maybe it will go away after pregnancy?
