I just foudn these bumps on the outside of my labia minora by my clit - they're not itchy or irritating, and i don't know how long it's been there for. I can't feel them when my skin isn't pulled back like it is in the pictures - you can't even see them without pulling back the labia. What do you guys think these are? Fordcye spots maybe? I'm going to the doctor this week. Sorry if the pictures are bad quality

    I noticed the same bumps on my labia near my clitoris as well. Did they go away?

      Oh good! How long did it take for them to go away? My doctor also took a look at them and she said nothing to worry about but I would just like them to go away regardless.

      ahah ya I totally understand! It took me about like a couple of months? or I guess 6 months since thats when this post was ahahhah 

      They're still like a littttle bit there just when the skin is pulled back but definitely has improved!

      That’s a relief. I’ve had them for about 1 month. So I was getting a little worried as to why they weren’t going away. Did your doctor recommend any special soap to use?

      Mine weren't itchy or uncomfortable  - it may just be friction from moving around that irritates them?

      Hi! I was wondering if u got them checked out. I also have these and they are also itchy for me. If you did get them checked out please let me know if it's normal for them to itch.

    I have the exact same thing just more of it over the entire area. I've had it since puberty (>7 years ago) and they haven't changed. Like you said, they're not itchy or bothersome at all, just weird if you don't know if other people have them. I'm apt to say it's not herpes because they've been present consistantly for years and aren't pussy like genital warts are to my knowledge. I came on this site wondering if it was herpes or something else and it's kinda nice to know I'm not the only one with this.

      hi abby, i freaked out when i found them and thought they were herpes,but as i have learnt herpes symptoms are quite distinct so it is quite reassuring! forcyte bumps are a completely natural thing but i also reccomended getting them checked out by a doctor because they can help! best of luck xoxo
