A member asked:

I have healthy vaginal discharge but white flecks are always on the sides of my vagina. i wash my vagina once a day with warm water. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Epithelial cells: White flecks on the sides of the vagina or the labia could come from cells that the body sheds on a regular basis and a no reason for concern.
