Inner Labia Near The Vagina Is Rough And Bumpy. Should It Be Smooth? Are There Any Symptoms For Genital Herpes?
Question: I have two more questions.
First question: is the inner vulva/inner labia near the vagina and pee hole suppose to feel somewhat rough and bumpy or is it suppose to feel smooth like a baby`s bottom?
Second question: I heard that 95% of the time there's no symptoms for genital warts or genital herpes. Is that true?

Brief Answer:
has a slightly rough texture
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The inner aspect of the genitalia would feel slightly rough to touch as do most mucosal surfaces of the body. This is a normal variation in most women.
In terms of genital herpes- approximately 81 % of persons may be asymptomatic (have no symptoms). When symptoms do occur ,they would consist of initial redness and discomfort in the area followed by a rash that evolves to small water fluid bumps. These 'bumps' then form small ulcers.
Genital warts-these occur as a result of HPV infection of which there are different types. HPV is a common sexually transmitted infection however even though the virus is present only 1-2% of persons with the virus may have symptoms such as warts.
In many persons the body may fight off the infection (in young persons , 90% can actually clear the infection within 2 years).
In others the infection may remain with no symptoms or progress to warts.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
