There's a few of them, maybe 4 or 5 and a couple are bigger than the others, but none of them are huge. They are not on the outside of the vaginal lips, but more towards the center and somewhat inner part, at the top area on either side of the clit.I didn't get much info except to see a doctor, and I can't get in there until next week. I'm thinking they will probably be gone by then, a couple of them seem to be getting smaller. I'm just looking for an opinion of what people may think it could possibly be so I can ease my mind a little.One more thing I noticed is that they are not like bumps growing on top of the skin, but rather underneath. If I grab a hold of one and pinch a little bit it feels kind of like a tiny ball. I don't really think this is an std. At least as far as herpes or hpv goes. From what I've seen looking online, it looks like hpv is usually more of a cluster of odd shaped growths on the skin itself. And herpes looks to be more like an open sore. The pictures I've seen do not look anything like what I have. Is there something else that might fit the description I've given?

Whatever you, do NOT pop them. Even if it is nothing, you don't want to add possibilities of an infection from your fingers
Do NOT self diagnose if you are in doubt. Just read up, and ease your mind until you see your doctor next week.
Have a good weekend!

 Yeah it doesn't sound like an STI, I know it's common for guys to have papules on their scrotum and your description sounds similar.
I would still advise a check up, but it certainly doesn't sound dodgy.
I wouldn't avoid sex but make sure you practice safe sex.

I can tell you this, my ex wife had exactly what you are describing. The funny part is, they would MOVE!!! Not really, what was happening is they would come and go in different places. You pinch them and they felt like hard little tiny balls inside. She freaked out about them and the doctor told her.......I wish I could remember but they where completely harmless and perfectly normal in a lot of women.
So all in all, you can wait for your appointment. You'll be alright.
