Little white spots under the skin of my vagina lips?
Could be genital warts. Could be pimples. If you have had unprotected sex, it is worth having anything unusuall down there looked at by your gyno.
Reply:I have had them as long as I can remember....my gyno said they are prefectly normal and just more visible on some women than others.
Reply:You need to go to your doctor because no one can give you an answer here. Diagnostic testing has to be done. Even if it does not cause any symptoms now it can progress into something serious. Getting an early diagnosis increases chances of sucessful treatment for almost everything in the book.
Reply:These little spots have probably been there for quite a while, and you have only just noticed them. If they are not itchy, and are constant, and are small smooth rounded swellings just under the skin, then these are probably retention cysts or sebaceous cysts. They are not due to any disease process. They are quite common and do not do any harm.





Getting rid of them is not easy, they will not go with just putting on a cream. They sometimes disappear on their own, but if they are persistent or get troublesome, then they need to be removed under a local anaesthetic.





I would encourage you at the moment to try and forget about them if you can, and just wait and see what happens. If they bother you or change in any way, or you want something done about them, then you will need to go and see your doctor.
