    hey, that to me looks like something called VP. its a really common issue and is not an STD or STI. i had exactly what you have in the opening of my vagina back in december and it went away on its own. i would still try and get an opinion from a gyno just to ease your anxiety, but i know its tough to see a doctor right now due to COVID.

    I have something called Lichen Sclerosus. It causes the area around your vulva to look white. It also creates itching.

    Please look it up. My oncologist identified it after my doctor thought it was a yeast infection or something similar. He recognized it and said that most doctors don't know what it is because it's very rare. It can turn cancerous.

    Don't want to scare you. Just want to educate anyone out there to pursue an answer if you have this symptom because the doctor may not know how to treat it let alone recognize it.

    Hope it's not what you have. FYI the Lichen Sclerosus wasn't why I was at the oncologist. That was uterine Cancer. Fun Fun 😦

    Nothing screaming concern from this image. One a little less zoomed in would help though.

    I assume the whiteness is not a liquid coating that is removable by wiping?

      This second image is most helpful and really makes this look like a harmless case of vestibular papillomatosis, which is perfectly normal and nothing to be worried about. No treatment is required unless they grow significantly and/or cause you pain, perhaps it you choose to become sexually active.

      Its a common condition, and the rest of your vulva looks normal and healthy too.

      I dont think genitals can ever be said to be 'the prettiest sight', and yet the human race continues a pace. Fear not, yours still looks better than at least 50% of the population 😉
