    From what I can see they look like normal 'spots' on the skin, think they are called Fordyce spots - leave them well alone - woman and men have them. However the second picture there are two little white bumps, the picture is vague so is this on the opening of your vagina as they look a little ominous.

    Regarding the itching and burning for 2 months - please seek medical attention for this as it could be anything from infection to an STI (assuming you are sexually active)

    Good luck

      thank you so much for responding and yeah it is the opening. Do you think it could be herpes? the two white bumps?

      i already made an appointment with my gynecologist but its so far away.

      I am not a Dr so dont take my word for it but I am not 100% convinced those two white dots are herpes, do they itch or hurt?

      I would get the swabbed to be honest just to be on the safe side
