What Are These Painless Bumps Above My Clitoris?
Question: What are these painless bumps above my clitoris ? Are they normal ?
Brief Answer:
sebaceous cysts
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
These bumps are basically sebaceous cysts like we have pimples on face.
These will go by itself and new ones can form and the cycle can go on for some time.
They are usually seen in patients who wear tight underclothes or jeans for a long time.
More common in Summers.
Just try to keep your genital area open or in loose clothes for some time each day and drink lots of water.
Take care.

Ok what type of soap ? I use cetaphil antibacterial ?
Brief Answer:
no need of special soaps
Detailed Answer:
Any soap can be used, no need of antiseptic soaps or lotions because these things change the flora of skin and disturb their balance.
Just keep it clean and dry and slowly they will stop appearing.
