I developed tiny bumps in the fold of my clit hood starting 3-4 years ago. Though they're relatively painless, they've gradually grown & become white. I started w/1 & now have abt 4 of different sizes. I've become very worried bc I noticed that upon developing them, I've lost sensitivity on my clit and decreased physical sexual response. I've been to 2 gynecologists & a dermatologist & apart from each giving me different explanations, none knew how to treat them. I've never been sexually active.

"Being sexually active" does not exclusively mean a sexual intercourse. Masturbation too, is a type of sexual activity. If you are "not sexually active" why are you checking the response of your clitoris?
As for the bumps, it refers to an STD. It can be syphilis, a simple bacterial infection (haemophilus ducreyi or fake syphilis), or a viral infection (moluscum contagiosum, HPV, HSV).
Routine gynecological exams do not include testing for the countless STDs. The default package is reduced to gonorrhea and chlamydia, which you do not have per your verbal report.
Please ask the provider to check for moluscum contagiosum (virus) and haemophilus ducreyi (bacteria) symptoms of which include white bumps you describe. Ask your doctor also to palpate the inguinal lymphatic nodes, the enlargement of which will help differentiate between (enlarged lymphatic nodes are typical to ducreyi, but not to moluscum).

Thank you for responding. Your reply was very helpful, and I will promptly get checked for the conditions you say I might have.
I still have a doubt though. Yes, I frequently masturbate, but I have never had any sexual contact with a partner beyond someone fingering me (and this was after I already contracted the bumps). Are you suggesting that I could still have an STD/should get checked for one albeit never having had further sexual contact with someone else?
