Blackhead?: If it's actually on your vulva then it could be a simple blackhead. Though one wouldn't want to miss a melanoma which can appear on vulvar skin as well. To be safe, get it looked at by gynecologist.

Question 3

black raised spots on the lips of vagina, what are they?

Accepted Answer

See a Gynecologist: without seeing exactly what you are describing, it is difficult for me to give you a sense of what this could be, it could be benign, or it could warrant a biopsy, but I would see a gynecologist as soon as you can

Question 4

what could cause dark patches in the vestibule area of the vagina. they are flat not raised. just blackish spots on the inner area. most likely malignant?

Yes: Eventhough malignant melanoma is rare on the vulva, a dark skin lesion that grows or changes needs to be evaluated. You may need to get a biopsy done.

Question 6

cluster of raised lumps near vagina. how do i treat this?

Accepted Answer

See below: I understand your angst but that is not enough information for me to give you a recommended course of action. I would visit my gynecologist and let them take a look and make a determination of what you may need.

Question 7

Better to get seen: From your description, this could be just normal tissue that you're not used to seeing, or an irritation or infection of some kind. I'd ask your doctor to look at it tomorrow just to be sure.
