What causes itchy whitish bumps on both sides of the vagina?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am just worried about these small whitish bumps on both sides of my vagina and I do not know what they are. I am kind of freaking out. Sometimes it itches but most of the time it does not, and they appeared out of nowhere.
