I have a cluster of flesh-colored bumps on my vaginal lips that have been there for years. They started as one bump that didn't grow for two years, but over the last two years, they have multiplied into a cluster along both lips. Doctors have seen them and suggested an ingrown hair, but I have had four normal pap smears over the past four years. They don't hurt but wearing underwear is becoming uncomfortable. What could these bumps be and what should I do?

My 9-year-old granddaughter has had several little white bumps on her perineum since the beginning of summer. Most have gone away, but two remain and have become reddened with a white head. They look like they will burst but have been like that for several weeks. What could these be and is there any treatment for them?

I have a flat bump the size of a pea outside the entrance of the vagina. It doesn’t hurt and sometimes it gets smaller. What might this be, how long do they last for, and how do I treat myself? Is this a concern for cancer?

I am 48 years old and have been perimenopausal for about a year. I just got my period on the 20th day of my cycle. I usually have a 28-day cycle with 5 days of bleeding, but my last period was only 3 days. I’ve never gotten a period this early before. Is this all normal for my age?

Why did my doctor tell me to take 3 birth control pills in one day to stop bleeding, does that mean my hormones are wacky?
