I only just realised they were there recently! Could anyone please let me know what it might be?? I've only had sex once maybe 1.5 years ago with 1 partner so I don't think its an STI. Would greatly appreciate anyone's help! I read that it might be fordyce spots but just wanted to double check if anyone else has had it too! Thank you!

    It seems like herpes. Go to a Dr. as soon as possible.

      Does not look like herpes at all. These are Fordyce spots.

      Do you have any other complaints?

      Yes, I had them when I was in my teens, but now I think they are gone.

      If you really want to get rid of them instantly, you have to visit a dermatologist (CO2 laser and other techniques could help).

      But in my opinion - it is not necessary to spend such money, as these spots do not leave any harm to you. Other then that, I would recommend to eat healthier (less sugar is always better) and exercise regularly. It helps to balance lipids in your body and improve your skin. All in all, Fordyce spots are very common and I would not be ashamed of them. Your vulva looks absolutely normal.

    Please don't listen to that dumb dude. I'm not a doctor but these resemble forcyde spots like mentioned previously. These are nothing to worry about.
