Brief Answer:
Normal vaginal skin appearance.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service.
What you describe small bumps on the inner side of the vaginal lips are nothing but the sebaceous glands or Fordyce Spots or Fordyce granules.
These become prominent after puberty and continue to increase in size and number as you age.
This is absolutely normal.
If you still have any doubt, you can upload a clear photograph of the these bumps and I will clarify your doubts after seeing it.
I hope this answers your query.
Best wishes

I have emailed them over to your email address
I have emailed them over to your email address
Brief Answer:
I have seen the pictures you sent me by mail, your vagina is normal
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
Thank you for sending me the photographs.
I have seen them and I assure you, these spots are Fordyce Spots (Sebaceous glands under the skin).
This appearance is absolutely normal. Do not worry.
You have noticed them only now as you have tried to take a picture of the vagina and suddenly in the picture they are very obvious.
This happens because the light from the phone camera passes through your skin easily and gets reflected by these structures which are normally present.
So, they become very obvious when you see a picture taken.
I hope that alleviates your concern.
Warm regards

Thanks for clearing that up for me and reassuring me as I have been really worried. So just to clarify it is not warts or anything serious then?

Can I also just ask. Has this got anything to do with HPV? Just normal vagina tissue?

Brief Answer:
It is just normal vaginal tissue, absolutely nothing abnormal, not HPV
Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
No, it is absolutely nothing serious. You generally don't see the sebaceous glands under skin elsewhere in the body because the skin layers are thicker, in vagina (Labia to be precise), the skin becomes almost transparent because it is thin so when you shine a light and take a photo, the underlying glands become visible.
No, this is not HPV.
I hope this clarifies your doubts further.

Hi
Thank you so much for clearing that up for me. I feel a lot better now knowing it is just normal vaginal tissue.
I have another question if that’s ok, I have emailed you over some pictures for you to look at and circled what I am asking about. What does this look like to you? Does this look like anything serious? Is this HPV or sebaceous glands also?
Thank you so much for all your help you have put my mind at ease already

Brief Answer:
Those are greater vestibular glands, absolutely normal again.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
Thank you for writing back to me for further clarification.
I have seen the images you sent me by email.
Those small elevations are caused by the greater vestibular glands (also called Bartholin's glands).
Close to the vaginal opening, on either side there are multiple vestibular glands and one pair of them is largest and is called the greater vestibular glands,
From the pictures you have shared, your vagina is absolutely normal and these greater vestibular glands are also quite normal in size and location.
You are fine, don't worry.
This is not HPV.
Hope that answers your query to your satisfaction, I am here if you need any more help.
Warm regards
