Hi, I'm a 20 year old female who leads a pretty healthy and normal lifestyle. A few years ago i noticed these red/dark purple blood filled bumps on both of my labia. I suspect they are angiokeratoma of Fordyce. They do not cause me any discomfort at all, but they are just so ugly and embarrassing! On a couple of occasions I have burst one or two just to see what would happen and f they would go away. All that happens is that they bleed non stop, but do not hurt at all. I am 98% certain that these are not a form of std, as I have not passed them onto any of my previous sexual partners and they have not spread beyond my labia. I have not been to see a gynocologist as yet, but will be shortly. Can anyone offer me advice as to how I could get rid of them, or whether my symptoms are typical of angiokeratomas??

Much Appreciated.
