i'm a virgin and i've never done anything with a guy. i have a few white bumps on the lips of my vagina and on my clitoris hood. they don't irritate me or hurt. i just don't know what they are and it scares me. do you think i contacted a STD from a toilet seat? or are these bumps normal?

They are normal. Many of us have them.
Also, they may be more noticable right before or during your period??? That's because your body is going through hormonal changes at that time and it can lead to some uncomfortable conditions down there.
You're okay, but if you want to really put your mind at ease, you could see a gynecologist. They will tell you its normal and then you won't worry so much!
And for the woman below me that said you can get a disease from toilet seats, she's lying. Bacteria and virus' can't live for long on cold toilet seats. They need warmth to live.

It would not hurt to get them looked at, but it is likely caused by blocked sebaceous glands. Tight clothing, chemicals in detergent, and soaps can cause this condition. If they do not get bigger or cause discomfort, it is unlikely that this is an STD. While it is possible to get certain STD's from sharing towels or personal items, this is not generally the case. A toilet seat does not come in direct contact with your body there, so it unlikely that you have genital warts. Try wearing loose, cotton underwear that doesn't hold in sweat, and washing with a mild soap. They will probably clear up on their own in a couple of weeks.

With things like this, it's always best to see your doctor in person. Random people online can never know for certain what it is. Not even a doctor online could say. If you have a sexually transmitted disease, you'll want to get medicine for it, so you don't damage your reproductive organs. It could just be an ingrown hair, but better safe than sorry, you know! Your doctor would never think something like this is silly, so just go. If you have a male doctor and that makes you uncomfortable, sometimes they have assistants who are women you can ask for. If you don't have the money to go to the doctor, go to a family planning / free clinic and they will help you.

it is impossible to be infected with STDs through a tiolet seat. Skin contact would not infect you with the virus'. Though it is possible if a person who has skin disease left some fluids or infectious dead skin near the surface of the toilet and you intentionally smudge it against your private area, you probably got some skin infection by bacteria. You should seek a dermatologist, but I am pretty sure it's not STD and definitely NOT fatal. Thousands of people use public toilets, they don't get infected with STDs, STD virus' only transfer through blood and open wounds or through sexual intercourse (exchange of bodily fluids).

You should go see a gynocologist about this problem that you are having. It is not STD, since you haven't had sex yet. STD is Sexually Transmitted Diseases and you cannot get them off Toilet seats.
It could be a number of things either Dermatitis, yeast infection, or it could be nothing. But you should see your doctor about this.
I heard that eating plain yogurt helps get rid of yeast infections, to get rid of that foul smell from vaginal dicharge. There is some bacterial culture that cures it.
I hope that this helps you.

Are the white bumps located near the public hairs on your vagina? Or are they not even close? Try and be more specific. But i'd go see your doctor ASAP!

They are probably just normal sweat or oil glands on the skin. Don't worry about it and don't pick at it. If it starts to hurt (which I highly doubt it will) contact a doctor.

You can get a STD from Oral sex! Or being naked with a person. You dont have to have sex to get an STD.
If you get fingered or anything sexual.
