(13): I have little bumps on my labia minora and majora. Should I worry about this?

No, there is no need to worry. The lips contain sebaceous glands. These keep the skin lubricated and prevent irritation when the lips rub against each other. The glands increase in size during puberty and become consequently more visible. They look like blackheads, but without the black spot in the middle. Like you, many girls worry that something is wrong. But these tiny bulges are a normal part of the skin: they keep the lips smooth and moist.
