Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The yellowish white bump on the vaginal lip could be due to an infected hair follicle- folliculitis or an infected sebaceous gland. The other possibilities are herpes infection since there are two such lesions. In case the lesion is painful with fever then a direct examination is needed to rule out any STD.
You should keep the area clean, wear cotton undergarments and apply antiseptic ointment like neosporin for relief. Avoid having sex till the lesions subside.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
