Are White Bumps On Labia Considered A Sign Of STD Or Yeast Infection?

So, I have these little white bumps that look like white pimples on my labia. I ve already gotten checked out for it because i was over worried it would be an STD. I was told it was only clogged pores. So how do I get rid of it? Is it some kind of cream? I also seem prone to getting yeast infections, what are causes to keep them away? Also, if i were to become active sexually, could it spread or do any harm?

Hi,

White pimple like lesions on the labia may be either molluscum contagiosum or milia. For the firm diagnosis you consult dermatologist. If it is molluscum contagiosum, then it is viral disease and it is contagious. It may be transmitted by sexually contacts. If it is milia, then is benign cysts. It is not contagious. In both cases, the treatment of choice would be electrocautery done under local anaesthesia. I hope this would be helpful to you.

Thanks.
