HEALTH
Your Bod
I have white bumps down there!
Relax. They're completely harmless. You probably noticed the little glands at the opening of your vagina. On that area where the skin is smooth, there is no hair. So to protect that delicate tissue, the glands, called papilla, secrete a tiny amount of oil that keeps your private parts healthy, according to Dr. Nardone.
Another kind of bump that might pop up around your panty line is a plain old pimple. Either way, as long as you're not sexually active, you have nothing to worry about. Your body will go through a lot of changes during puberty, which is totally normal.
