    I have pretty much identical lumps like that!!!

    Had a whole drama with them when I first noticed them. I was extremely itchy after sex and looked down there and saw they were very red and irritated. I was told it was herpes my a misinformed nurse (it wasn't so don't stress! Results were negative) but I think it's likely to be something called Vestibular Papillomatosis (VP for short).

    They are completely normal but if they carry on giving you discomfort then go back to your doctor. I sometimes get irritated after sex too, vaseline or coconut oil can help soothe the area. Hope this helps 😃
