VP are not infectious and not due——to HPV. Diagnosis is: by, "visualization." The bumps are less yellow and more pinkish when compared to Fordyce spots. They should not be, mistaken for genital warts. No treatment is required.
They are common in pregnancy. Historically they were sometimes incorrectly called "microwarts".
