It's hard to diagnose from a bulletin board posting. but the anonymity is great. The more information you can give, the greater are the chances someone may be able to help you. Can you help a little?
Are you sexually active?
How long have you had these bumps?
Any other symptoms? -
um well i v always had them and yes im sexually active and symptoms i dont think there are

Had them for how long?

Welcome to A2A, ccce. Little white bumps are probably sebaceous glands, which are perfectly normal. You have them all over your body but they are usually buried in the skin and invisible. However the skin on your genitals and lips is thinner and they can become visible there when the glands enlarge (as they do) at puberty.They can also be called Fordyce's spots, especially when on the lips.

wow thanks so much you guysi thought i had like gennetal warts or something do these bumps ever become red at all?
-
No, not normally, unless they are rubbed so hard they become raw, or squeezed till they bleed.
-
thank you so much you have no idea how freaked out ive been all day over this is there anythign i can do to make them go away
-
Unfortunately no. I suppose they can be burned off, but I would think that would create scarring.

Also, there are pictures of Fordyce spots in the Male Anatomy thread at the top. Check it out.
