Detailed Answer:
hello. thank you for writing to us

I am Dr. Kakkar (dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have viewed the image.

I can see a few yellowish looking pin head sized small bumps clustered on the margin of vagina. These are Fordyce spots which are ectopic sebaceous glands and are a normal finding in both males and females.They are not warts.
