Those bumps look like vestibular papillomatosis which is a type of benign tumour that occurs on the vulvar. I have a few too. They are perfectly normal and harmless and cannot be caught off or spread to someone else via sexual intercourse. Men get them too around the head of the penis, called pearly papules. Google images and you will see what they look like. Many women never know they have got them until they examine themselves closely for some other reason such as pain or itchiness. I am not sure what the white spot it, it could just be a pimple or cyst - do you shave? Shaving can cause such cysts. I have had such spots on my labia and they are very painful but usually subside after a few days. How long have you had it?

okay, i do shave, but thats more inside by my clitoris where there is no hair. it feels more like a pimple. i felt pressure yesterday but i didnt think too much of it until i wiped and felt the bump. After examining myself, i saw that it can be popped if i squeezed it but i didnt attempt to because it hurt. What did you do to treat it to make it go away?

sorry, i couldnt tell from the photo where it was, it looked like just inside your outer labia. I have had painful pimples on my outer labia. Is it on the inside of your inner labia? I'd leave it for a few days and see if it starts to go down on its own. The most likely thing is that it is a pimple or cyst due to a blocked pore and it will go away on its own. If it doesnt subside on its own, or it turns into a blister or you get more of them then you need to get yourself to a dr or sexual health clinic. Do not try to pop it - that should never be done with a pimple is such a place - you could make it worse and get a more serious infection. There isnt really much you can put on it to help it go away - the place where it is could get easily irritated by antiseptic cream. I have put fucdin cream on my spots in the past, which is anti bacterial, but you can only get that on prescription from the GP (we happened to have some left over).

I am not too sure about the pimple but the first image kind of looks like Vestibular papillomatosis (VP)
