Why Having Small Red Bumps On Vulva Even After Using Protection During Sex?
Hi, I have some small red bumps on my vulva that are not from shaving. They are not itchy. They seem to be centered around where the hair follicles are. I do have a partner but we've been together for ten months. We have had unprotected sex but we got tested and everything was fine and we always use contraceptives.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Presence of red bumps on vulva are due to infection, would have spread through inner wear or using public toilet. Need examination of lesions and treatment. Wash your inner wears in hot water and sun dry them, Avoid irritant soap for washing, use mild antiseptic soap.
