Understanding Small Bumps on the Labia: Causes & What They Are

Tiny bumps on the labia that do not hurt or itch are often caused by:

- Sebaceous hyperplasia: These are small, harmless growths of the sebaceous glands, the glands which produce oil to lubricate the skin.

- Fordyce spots: These are small, pale, or yellowish bumps that are made up of sebaceous glands.

- Skin tags: These are small, fleshy growths that are made up of skin and connective tissue.

- Vulvar varicosities: These are small, swollen veins that are found on the labia.

- Ingrown hairs: These occur when the tip of a hair curls back and penetrates the skin.
