Newbie Post-Small white bumps

Unread post by Just_A_Question »

I am having an issue with small white bumps on my labia. They are right at the very beginning of the mucosal tissue above my clitoris. They are accompanied by thin clear discharge and a strong odor. I've been to my doctor, and he ran a swab and it wasn't a yeast infection or VB. I'm not sexually active, so it's not an sti. They are really bugging me and I'd like things to go back to normal. I have a physical coming up soon, and I'd like to bring it up again with my doctor, any ideas about what this might be?

Hi Just a question,

I think that discussing this at your physical is your best bet. There's no way for us to diagnose you via internet. If the bumps are causing you discomfort, it might be best to try and see a healthcare provider sooner so they can at least proscribe some treatment.

Also, the doctor who ran those tests, what did they say? Did they say they had any continued concerns, or suggest any additional tests? One reason I ask is that it is possible the bumps -- which could be nothing more than Fordyce spots or just a common genital tissue variation -- are unrelated to the discharge or the odor. So, I'm curious about what their determination was.
