Is anything suppose to be on the labia minora?

So I have these little bumps but there not really bumps cause they aren’t hard. They line both sides of my inner lips. On one side I guess it’s irritated because if I touch it, it hurts but the other side isn’t like that. Idk if it’s normal to have these things lining your labia minora or not. They’ve never bothered me before.

I'd guess what you're describing is the "oil glands". They could be irritated from a number of things, if it doesn't clear up within a few days I'd make an appointment with your doctor, otherwise just try to keep the area clean and well ventilated, avoid tight underwear, and try to think if you've used any new products that could be causing irritation.

Just wanted to mention also, avoid using any harsh soaps, or soap in general on the area, water is usually enough!
