Brief Answer:
Infection of hair follicle

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about the cluster bumps.

These cluster bumps are likely to be infection of hair follicles. These enlarge further in size before reducing and disappearing.

I don't see any reason to worry.

Let me know if you need any more help.

Regards

Even though it is on my labia minora where no hair grows ? I think it may be more than that so I'll go to the doctor in the morning

Please send a photograph if possible

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It is difficult to say without seeing the lesion. Please send a photograph if possible so that I can see and identify it. These dont appear to be STD related.
