white bumps on clitorus , white patches on labia minora

I am 48 years old, I never had a problem with anything. I think I am starting perimenopause because out of the blue I have sebaceous dermatitis on my scalp, and then find out I have Iron deficiency anemia. My last pap smear came up irregular. My Dr said, not to worry and come back in 6 months to recheck it. A few weeks later I noticed white bumps on clitoris , and white patches on labia minora. I went back to my dr and she said she didn't know what it was but was pretty sure it was nothing. She gave me an anti fungal cream, and said if it didn't work, to go see a am OBGYN for a biopsy. I did do tests for STD's during my last visit, they were negative. CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS RNA, TMA NOT DETECTED , NEISSERIA GONORRHOEAE RNA, TMA NOT DETECTED .  I have no pain, I do not itch or burn. I am in no discomfort. Yet I am still terrified about what this could be, you read about vulva cancer and , VIN. I cannot focus on anything because I am so overwhelmed by the thoughts of what this could be. I was hoping someone could put my mind at ease. Am I overreacting?

It's normal to be worried and have anxiety when something new pops up on our body.  But statistically, the chances are low.  Have you scheduled the appointment with your ob/gyn?  That's your next step.  This will bring you peace that no one here can give you other than to say that I doubt this is anything of your worries.  The doctor will be able to look/biopsy and tell you for sure.  Come back and let us know, okay?
