Hi,

It is difficult to give a definitive answer without a proper medical examination, but there are a few possible explanations for the symptoms you are experiencing. One possibility is that the bumps and wrinkles could be caused by a skin condition such as lichen sclerosus or lichen planus. These conditions can cause changes in the skin texture, color, and appearance in the genital area, and they can be associated with discomfort or itching.

Another possibility is that the bumps and wrinkles are simply a normal variation in the appearance of the vaginal lips. Just like other parts of the body, the skin in this area can have different textures and colors, and this is not necessarily a sign of a medical problem.

However, it is also possible that the bumps and wrinkles could be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a sexually transmitted infection or a vulvar cancer. It is important to see a healthcare provider for an examination and any necessary testing to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and determine the appropriate treatment, if needed.

If you require a personalized response, kindly use the Ask A Doctor service and post a follow-up. Take care. Hope I have answered your question.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
