    Question

    I'm 16 and I have two or three small brown circular patches on the inside lips of my vagina and I also have raised bumps at the bottom of entrance of my vagina. I also have bumps inside my rectum and on the outside of my anus. Please help me!

    Answer

    Since you're not mentioning pain or itching with these, they might be just normal, or benign. But if you're sexually active, they might be warts. These can be easily treated as well with a variety of remedies. Of course, it's impossible to be sure of the cause without seeing them, so I strongly recommend you see your doctor for an evaluation.
