What Is The Treatment For Small White Bumps In The Labia Majora?
Hey, I have 3 white bumbs on my libia, started as one a while back, they do not burn nor does peeing or touching. I can pop them very easyly and no pain again only discomfort from the pressure. White thick stuff comes out sorta like a pimple, and then its gone. Like it was never there, but sometimes they come back in the same spot and I have to do it again.

Hello, and I hope I can help you today.
Many women develop white bumps on their vulva that are filled with clear, white, or yellow oily fluid. These are known as sebaceous cysts and are completely harm. They are caused by blocked pores in the area just like a pimple. This diagnosis is reinforced by the fact that when you pop them they go away.
Washing your genital area with antibacterial soap and making sure that you wear loose fitting breathable cotton underwear will help to reduce the chance of the bumps from forming. You also can apply over-the-counter acne medication to the bumps which will also make them go away without needing to pop them. If you do decide to continue to pop the bumps to make them go away, make sure you wash the area before and after with antibacterial soap and that your hands are clean.
I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful.
Best wishes,
Dr. Brown
