Several possibles: Labial bumps as you describe could be ingrown pubic hairs that become infected, sebaceous glands that become clogged and infected, pimples that become infected, and abscesses. These are the most common causes and are relatively benign if treated. Simple pimples and ingrown hairs usually resolve on their own, but infection require antibiotics and occasionally drainage.

I have small bumps on my labia. They don't hurt but when the pop open with blood they leave scars. I don't have STDs so what is this? I've had them for years now.

Inner labia minora has painful red spots that bleed just a little. Used a dull razor last time I shaved. I don't believe I've been exposed to a std.
