Probably normal Foliate Papillae. You were born with them. See your Dentist to assure that we are both talking about the same structures.

THESE BUMPS ARE PAPILLAE ,WHICH ARE YOUR TASTE BUDS. THEY ARE NORMAL AND YOU SHOULD BRUSH THEM AS WELL AS YOUR TEETH. PRACTICE GOOD ORAL HYGIENE.

I have not had sex in 15m. Past 2M I have been homeless, poor personal hygiene due to living in car and depression. I have a scab on clitoris, no other sores or patches. Doc says its herpes. No outbreaks ever other than this scab. Confused :?
