I am 14 and have had these bumps even before I've had sex. I don't know how I got them but they're all over the lips of my vagina and around the vaginal hole. I'm scared.... I have had them for like a year or two years... I don't know what they are but I'm gonna go to an appointment at Planned Parenthood. I had sex with my boyfriend last saturday, we used condoms but I cried all day because I'm worried and scared he might get it!! Is it just clogged pores? Or std?
I have had sex with a girl when I was 10, but i didnt ever notice bumbs... i get them on my thighs sometimes and i had them on my butt cheeks before, but then i started washing my but alot! then it spread to my lower back more near my butt. i also cleared those up by washing it. I hope its just clogged pores because im scared!!!!!
Looking at everyone's comments has helped me a bit.
Sebaceous cysts (epidermal cysts)
many women have indeed experienced them -- perhaps without really knowing what they were at the time.
Sebaceous cysts are small lumps or bumps just under the skin.
To be more specific, they are closed sacs that contain keratin -- a "pasty" or "cheesy" looking protein that often has a foul odor. Although they are usually found on the face, neck, and trunk, they also occur in the vaginal area or other parts of the genitalia. In cases of the latter, it is not uncommon for women to fear that they are the result of genital herpes. But genital herpes create a blister-type sore that eventually becomes crusty, not just a bump or lump under the skin. What Causes Sebaceous Cysts? Sebaceous cysts are often the result of swollen hair follicles or skin trauma. Symptoms and Signs/Symptoms of Infection Sebaceous cysts are usually painless, slow-growing, small bumps or lumps that move freely under the skin. It's important not to touch or try to remove the substance inside to prevent tenderness, swelling, and infection of a sebaceous cyst. Occasionally, infections may occur. Signs or symptoms that may indicate infection of sebaceous cysts include: redness tenderness increased temperature of the skin over the bumps or lumps greyish white, cheesy, foul-smelling material draining from the bump or lump How Are Sebaceous Cysts Diagnosed ? Sebaceous cysts, to the trained eye, are usually easily diagnosed by their appearance. In some cases, a biopsy may be necessary to rule out other conditions with a similar appearance. You should see your doctor to get a formal diagnosis if you suspect that you have a sebaceous cyst. Treatments for Sebaceous Cysts Sebaceous cysts most often disappear on their own and are not dangerous. As stated, however, they may become inflamed and tender. Sometimes sebaceous cysts grow large enough that they may interfere with your everyday life. When this happens, surgical removal may be necessary, and this procedure can be done at your doctor's office. Small inflamed cysts can often be treated with an injection of steroid medications or with antibiotics. Complications of Sebaceous Cysts If sebaceous cysts become infected, they can form into painful abscesses. The surgical removal of a sebaceous cyst that does not involve the excision of the entire sac may cause the cyst to come back (although, recurrence is not usual). Remember to consult your healthcare provider anytime you notice any type of growth, bump, or lump on your body. Although sebaceous cysts are not dangerous, your doctor should examine you to ensure that another more dangerous concern is not present. Source: Sebaceous Cyst.
