Should my vulva/outer labia be so bumpy?

Unread post by Cosmakat »

God this is awkward, but I've always been curious and never quite ably to find a direct answer. My inner vulva/outer labia area is incredibly bumpy. Not hard bumps, but bumps nonetheless (sort of like chicken skin). Is this normal? I also occasionally find spots/pimples in this area (fairly rarely, but I still thought it was weird). What is going on?

Hi Cosmakat,

Yep, what you're experiencing is normal! It's common for those parts you describe to feel a little lumpy-bumpy in that way. And it is possible to get things like pimples on your genitals, since they're skin and skin on any part of your body can get blemishes.
