Could Raised Bumps On Labia Majora Which Bleeds After Applying Pressure Be An STD?

I found 3 or 4 tiny raised bumps on my labia majora, on one side, right on the edge about half way down. They weren't in a cluster, sort of in a line with a little space between and I could barely see them, just felt them by touch like tiny tiny skin tags. I 'popped' a couple of them and they came away easily. They bled for a few seconds then stopped with pressure applied. They didn't hurt at all or cause irritation beforehand. I can't find any other bumps inside or around my vagina. Is this likely to be an STD?

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have multiple small bumps on labia majora.
Most likely this could be small sebaceous cysts .The skin in this region is rich in sebaceous glands and hence prone to get more sebaceous cyst due to accumulation of sebum beneath the skin.
Normally they fade away without treatment however they need to be treated if increase in size or get infected.
Please consult qualified General Surgeon or Gynaecologist for clinical evaluation and further treatment.
You need to take broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefotaxime along with anti inflammatory medication like Diclofenac twice daily
This does not look to be STI.
