Vestibular papillomatosis (VP) are normal small bumps in the genital area of females.[1] The bumps appear in multiple numbers, are rounded and are not painful, itchy or uncomfortable.[1] They are comparable to pearly penile papules, which occur in males.[2]

VP are not infectious and not due to HPV.[1] Diagnosis is by visualization.[1] The bumps are less yellow and more pinkish when compared to Fordyce spots.[2] They should not be mistaken for genital warts.[3] No treatment is required.[1]
They are common in pregnancy.[1] Historically they were sometimes incorrectly called "microwarts".[3]
