It's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis, especially for conditions involving sensitive areas like the vagina. Vestibular papillomatosis is a benign condition characterized by small, skin-colored bumps or papules on the vulva, often mistaken for warts or other lesions. It is a normal anatomical variation, not associated with any disease or infection.

If you suspect vestibular papillomatosis or have concerns about any changes in your genital area, I recommend visiting a gynecologist or dermatologist. They can conduct an examination and provide reassurance or treatment if necessary. Remember, it's always best to seek professional medical advice for any health concerns

Hello, as seen from the picture, it could be vestibular papillomatosis, but if these papillomas do not cause you pain, they do not require any treatment, they are not contagious, and they do not turn into cancer. If the appearance bothers you, it can be treated with a simple surgical procedure, but there is a possibility of recurrence later. I hope I helped.
