    Those are Fordyce Spots. Everyone's born with Fordyce spots, but they generally become more noticeable as you age. Fordyce spots can be somewhat disconcerting at first glance but they do not present any health risks. If you dislike your Fordyce spots or find them aesthetically unappealing, there are cosmetic treatments to remove them. Are you thoroughly washing your vaginal area at least once a day? There is a noticeable amount of smegma buildup on both sides of your labia. If left alone, it can cause serious complications.
