Question
I am not sexually active, but I have these white bumps on my vaginal lips. I've had them since last year. They sometimes itch, but not very much and they are very small. They dont really bother me. My boyfriend said it could be a fungal infection, but I don't know, because some of the bumps are raised (like two or three) and they're bigger. I am kind of scared it could be an STD, but i dont know how I'd get it, because I've never had sex before. I heard you can get STDs from public rest rooms. What should I do?
Answer
You cannot get sexually transmitted infections from public toilets. The only way to know what the bumps are is to have your doctor look at them.
