Women quite often face such a problem as acne in intimate places, since their skin is much more delicate and sensitive, which means there is a risk of developing irritations of various etiologies. A pimple on the pubic area, as well as on the labia, does not always indicate the development of a serious disease and can be the cause of a common allergy or cold. As a rule, inflammation and rash in the groin area do not cause pain and go away without outside intervention after a couple of days. At the same time, there is a possibility of developing sexually transmitted diseases, one of the signs of which is a pimple.

Possible causes and treatment methods for acne on the labia in women

Possible reasons for the formation of acne on the genitals, including the labia, include changes in hormonal levels due to malfunctions of the body, pregnancy, puberty or the onset of menopause.
In addition to this, rashes of various types can be observed due to:

Each type of acne has its own cause of formation and treatment method. To carry out correct therapy, you will need to contact your doctor to clarify the diagnosis.

Pimples

Pimples are a type of rash that forms on a woman’s genitals, as well as on the pubic area. As a rule, they form pinkish pimples, 2 mm or more in size.

The causes of such a rash may be an allergy to skin contact with powders, hygiene products and linen, or a lack of hygiene. Such pimples do not cause noticeable discomfort and disappear on their own within a few days. In addition, pimples can be a sign of the development of a herpes virus infection, or simply genital herpes. In this case, they have a transparent shell with liquid inside, while causing discomfort and pain. If the rashes have a denser structure with a pointed tip, then these are papillomas caused by the virus of the same name.

Such rashes are transmitted mainly during sexual contact with carriers of viruses, and may appear several months later when immunity decreases. At the same time, the herpes virus, as well as the human papillomavirus, are incurable.

Treatment is aimed at reducing the activity of viruses and eliminating the manifestations of the disease. To treat rashes caused by the human herpes virus, it is necessary to carry out immunomodulating therapy with the additional use of acyclovir drugs. Papillomas require removal surgically or using cryodestruction, laser removal or ultrasound.

Wen

Wen are rashes that form on the labia of women and in the pubic area due to blockage of the sebaceous glands of the skin. Such formations are called lipomas and are localized directly under the skin due to the increased work of the sebaceous glands, sebum accumulates and leads to blockage of the channels.

The reasons for the appearance of wen include:

• excessive oily skin;
• increased sweating;
• hormonal imbalance;
• abuse of spicy, fatty foods and sweets;
• lack of hygiene;
• use of unsuitable hygiene products
• disturbance of metabolic processes in the body, for example, with diabetes;
• injury to the sebaceous gland (during depilation or active sexual intercourse).

The lipoma or wen must be removed, otherwise the formation of abscesses and even the development of oncology are possible.

As a rule, old wen is removed surgically, especially when inflammatory processes develop or suppuration occurs. The surgeon removes both the capsule itself containing purulent masses and the affected tissue around the wen. As a result, antibacterial therapy is carried out to avoid the development of secondary infection. If there is a “quiet” wen that brings only aesthetic discomfort, then it is removed using an endoscope or liposuction, or using a laser and radio waves.

White pimples (dots, spots)

White pimples on the intimate area in women are of two types - similar in appearance to “goose bumps” and with a purulent white head. The first type of rash appears due to the necrosis of the epidermal scales and their accumulation in the hair follicle. The skin becomes rough to the touch. To get rid of this problem, it is enough to carry out enhanced hygiene of the genital organs.

Whiteheads, spots and pimples with a white head can occur due to various factors. These could be:

• irritation after unsuccessful depilation (for example, shaving the pubic area with a razor);
• hypothermia;
• , impervious to air and moisture, creating a sauna effect;
• development of sexually transmitted diseases.

As a rule, such rashes go away on their own and do not require special treatment. But, if acne does not go away for a long time, you should consult a doctor who will conduct laboratory tests and prescribe treatment if necessary.

Red pimples

Red pimples on the labia look like a slight reddish lump located in the hair follicle. Such rashes can be caused by hair growth, and in some cases accompanied by suppuration under the skin. As a rule, acne goes away along with the sprouting of hairs and does not require treatment. If the hair does not grow and the suppuration does not go away, then you may need to see a doctor for treatment with antibacterial agents or to remove the problem.

Blackheads

The formation of black spots on the genitals in women can occur due to blockage of the sebaceous tubules of the epithelium of the pubic area. In addition, comedones (the medical name for blackheads on the skin) can be caused by a number of abnormalities and diseases:

• damage to the sebaceous glands by pathogenic microflora due to excessive hygiene of the genital organs and washing out of the vaginal microflora;
• inflammation of hair follicles due to improper depilation;
• allergies to intimate hygiene products, lubricants, flavored condoms, etc.;
• hypothermia and overheating can provoke the appearance of comedones;
• hormonal imbalance, most often appear during the transition period in adolescents, as well as during menopause.

Regardless of the reason for the appearance of comedones, it is forbidden to squeeze them out. Treatment will need to be carried out under the supervision of a doctor in cases where the rash lasts more than 2 weeks, if discomfort, pain, dry skin and peeling occur in the area covered with comedones, and also if blackheads appear immediately after unprotected sexual intercourse with a new partner. For treatment, antibacterial and antiseptic agents may be prescribed; you will also need to refrain from using soap and genital care products with fragrances and fragrances, wearing synthetic and tight underwear, and having sexual intercourse.

Internal pimple

Internal pimples often appear in the intimate area of ​​women when the skin is damaged during depilation with a razor and a secondary infection occurs, which develops in the subcutaneous layers over time and then forms internal suppuration and, as a result, an internal pimple.

As a treatment, special topical medications can be used to help fight bacteria and relieve inflammation. In some advanced cases, surgery and removal of the pimple may be required.

Purulent pimple on an intimate place in women

Rashes on the labia in women quite often bother the fair half of humanity. Particularly unpleasant can be purulent pimples that form due to exposure to external factors:

• , for example during puberty;
• a cold, which can lead not only to a cough, but also to the formation of purulent pimples on the genitals;
• inflammation of the Bartholin glands provokes the appearance of a boil; this problem may be accompanied by an increase in body temperature, pain in the inflamed area and itching;
• staphylococci, streptococci, trichomonas, which can cause purulent rashes on the labia;
• ulcers also appear with vulvovaginitis.

If you find a purulent pimple on the genitals, you should consult a doctor to clarify the diagnosis.

In many cases, treatment consists of surgically opening the pimple, or complex therapy is prescribed, including the use of immunomodulatory, disinfectant and antibacterial drugs, both external and internal.

According to the place of manifestation

Pimples differ not only in appearance and the reasons that led to their formation, but also in location. Depending on the location of the formation of the rash, special therapy may be carried out, requiring special medications and acne removal techniques. The most dangerous and difficult to diagnose are pimples located on the labia minora and in the vagina.

Pimple on the small lip in women

Pimples on the labia minora can appear due to various factors:

• failure to comply with personal hygiene measures;
• abuse of soap during hygiene procedures, which leads to dryness of the epithelium, irritation of tissues and cracks in the skin through which bacteria penetrate;
• herpetic eruptions primarily affect the mucous membranes, which means that quite often they form watery pimples on the labia minora;
• Venereal diseases can also provoke the formation of acne of various types on the labia minora.

If a pimple bothers you, causes itching, burning, or peeling, then you will need the help of a qualified specialist, since it is almost impossible to determine the type of rash on the sebaceous labia from a photo from the Internet.

Vaginal rash

A rash in the vagina is detected during an examination by a gynecologist. This problem is serious and requires careful study and treatment in the future. As a rule, a rash in the vagina in women is formed due to:

1. Inflammatory processes of the Bartholin gland, which is localized at the entrance to the vagina. The causes of inflammation can be a history of gonorrhea, mycoplasmosis and trichomoniasis.
2. A pimple in the vagina is not a simple formation, but may be or. The reasons for the formation of such growths can be a vaginal cyst, paraurethritis and urethral diverticulum.
3. Herpes virus infection, condylomas and can even be located in the vagina. These diseases are transmitted primarily through sexual contact, which means it is necessary to avoid unprotected sexual intercourse.

There are quite a few types and causes of acne in the vagina. When a formation is detected, diagnosis and treatment should be carried out exclusively by a specialist. For treatment, specific therapy with antibacterial drugs of local and systemic action, immune-supporting treatment is used, and antiseptics are also used.

Rash and pimples on a girl's pussy

Girls at any age can develop pimples and rashes on the genitals, which are formed due to the influence of various factors, including the development of:

• – is a diaper rash that appears due to prolonged interaction with the surface of the diaper, the baby’s feces and the lack of circulation of moisture and air. It looks like purulent rashes, swelling of the skin, spots, bumps and redness in the groin;

Pimples on the labia

Contents of the article:

Pimples on the labia may indicate pathological processes occurring in the female body. Practicing doctors do not use the word “pimple”; lumps on the skin have many names, based both on the subtleties of diagnosis and appearance, and on the reasons for the occurrence of the element.

The appearance of formations in intimate places disrupts general well-being and negatively affects the quality of life. There are many reasons why this delicate problem arises:

Lack of basic hygiene or, conversely, the habit of toileting the intimate area with aggressive detergents several times a day;
removal of vegetation in the bikini area;
hypothermia;
wearing tight underwear;
some sexually transmitted diseases, such as herpes infection;
blockage of the sebaceous gland;
general overheating of the body,
hormonal instability;
use of panty liners.

How to treat acne on the labia depends directly on the cause of the pathology.

Causes and types of acne on the labia

Against the background of blockage of the sebaceous duct, a compaction may appear, which, as it matures, will have a white head. As a rule, the situation resolves without treatment by effusion of pus and healing. Squeezing white pimples on the labia is strictly not recommended, as it can spread the infection.

What can you do if a pimple pops up in your intimate area?

To make your skin clear again as quickly as possible, apply an antibiotic to the problem area: for example, ointment Baneocin, cream Fucidin or synthomycin emulsion.

If a pimple on the labia hurts, this indicates the process of purulent inflammation; when the abscess breaks through, the pain syndrome is relieved.

You should refrain from taking hot baths.

If purulent pimples appear too often, this may be due to a weakened immune system, poor diet and hypovitaminosis.

Always after shaving hair in the intimate area, treat the surface with an antiseptic solution, for example, the following will help you:

Chlorhexidine;
Miramistin;
Dioxidine;
Metrogil;
Furacilin;
Potassium permanganate.

If the localization of acne is the mucous membranes, be sure to consult a gynecologist, as this may be a manifestation of a herpetic infection.

How does genital herpes manifest itself?

In addition to multiple blisters filled with liquid, the woman is worried about pain. There is a connection with unprotected sexual intercourse.

Predisposing factors to genital herpes are the following conditions:

A large number of sexual partners;
taking hormones;
malfunction of the immune system.

In addition, some patients note an increase in regional lymph nodes.
If a herpetic infection is left unattended, frequent relapses will be a complication, and there is a possibility of further spread of the pathology.

The following drugs are used for treatment:

Acyclovir;
Valaciclovir;
Famacyclovir;
Penciclovir.

In some cases, immunomodulators and vitamins are prescribed.

Cold pimples on the labia

After hypothermia, swimming in a pond, suffering from an acute respiratory viral infection or the flu, cold-like acne may appear on the labia. In this case, it is necessary to treat the underlying pathology, and treat the formations with antiseptic solutions. Subcutaneous pimples on the labia can be the beginning of an inflammatory process. Sometimes the body copes on its own, and additional medications are not required.

If the contents do not come out, then over time you can see a black pimple on the labia. Without inflammation, it is more of a cosmetic defect. Over time, the accumulation of secretion will still leave the restricted zone, and the situation will resolve itself.

Pyoderma

Purulent pustules, erosive ulcerations, and crusts may indicate pyoderma. In some cases, it looks like purulent pimples on the labia/labia.

In case of a large-scale process, the doctor may prescribe broad-spectrum antibiotics for systemic therapy; for local treatment, various creams with antibacterial action and other antiseptics are used. As a rule, during treatment, the skin clears up in 5–10 days.

Prickly heat

Against the background of overheating and synthetics, acne can also appear not only on the skin, but also in the genital area. Miliaria, as a rule, goes away on its own after cleansing the skin, a cool shower and sufficient air exchange.

Molluscum contagiosum

This is a viral infection in which flesh-colored elements appear. When pressed, the white content is highlighted. Sometimes the patient is bothered by itching. When scratching, there is a possibility of secondary infection. Sometimes the body copes with the problem itself, otherwise they resort to cryodestruction, chemical destruction, removal with tweezers or coagulation.

Subcutaneous atheroma

Sometimes women mistake atheroma for an internal pimple on the labia.

Note that atheroma is a subcutaneous cyst, limited by a capsule, filled with cheesy contents. This can be either the secretion of the sebaceous gland or the cyst’s own secretion.
Outside of inflammation, except for compaction, a pimple on the labia majora does not manifest itself in any way. If an infection occurs, then redness, swelling, a sharp increase in formation, and pain appear.

Treatment of suppurating large atheroma is surgical. In some cases, the cyst ruptures with the release of purulent contents, followed by recovery. It should be noted that since the walls of the cyst have been preserved, the likelihood of re-accumulation of the contents is very high. During surgical treatment, the walls are excised.

Hormonal changes that contribute to the appearance of acne in a woman’s intimate area

Pimples on the labia of a girl appear during puberty with unstable hormonal levels.

This problem does not require any special treatment, but you should follow simple recommendations:

Daily change of underwear and hygiene procedures;
use of hypoallergenic non-irritating detergents;
proper nutrition with limited fats and carbohydrates;

If a pregnant woman has a pimple on her labia, there is no reason to panic. Using an anti-inflammatory antibacterial cream will help clear the skin. Note that a pregnant woman should be screened for all STIs, including syphilis. Only then can we talk about hormonal changes in the body, which lead to skin changes, including in the genital area.

The appearance of pimples on the labia before menstruation is more typical for girls during puberty. As a rule, in addition to the genital area, acne is localized on the face, shoulders, and back. By the end of puberty, skin rashes go away on their own. If the process is too pronounced, it is possible to study the purulent discharge for the pathogen and sensitivity to antibiotics. In addition, a gynecologist-endocrinologist can examine hormonal levels and recommend some hormone replacement medications. Additionally, attention is paid to proper hygiene care, diet, and normalization of the daily routine.

Chancre with syphilis

Of course, a practicing doctor would never call chancre a “pimple,” but some patients complain like this: “I have a pimple on my labia minora/labia majora, doesn’t it hurt, what is it?” The diagnosis is not particularly difficult for a specialist; to confirm, the blood is tested for syphilis using the ELISA method.

During the survey, pay attention to the following facts:

how long ago did you have sexual intercourse without barrier contraception;

whether you took antibiotics for a period of 1-2 months;

is there an enlargement of nearby lymph nodes?

It is noteworthy that a dense formation with syphilis is painless, there is no itching, and there are no signs of inflammation.

Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the dermatovenerologist prescribes medications according to the recommended treatment regimen for syphilis, with mandatory monitoring of curability.

Red pimples on the labia

Most likely, the reason is an allergic reaction to something.

Allergic contact dermatitis will manifest itself as a rash similar to urticaria. Allergen - any: from synthetic underwear to the impregnating substance of panty liners.

It is worth paying attention to new cosmetic and hygiene products, brand of condoms, etc.

The main thing is to try to identify the allergen and eliminate contact with it. In addition, taking antihistamines will help reduce itching and improve your general condition. On the first day, it is better not to wet problem areas, not to use hot water, and to refuse to use soap, gel, or shampoo in subsequent days.

If the rash in intimate places does not become paler, but the itching intensifies, you may need an expanded treatment regimen in addition to antihistamines:

Adsorbents;
calcium gluconate;
diet;
agents that improve the functioning of intestinal microflora;
hormonal drugs for local therapy.

Red pimples due to allergies on the labia disappear within 7 to 10 days.

All neoplasms in the genital area have their own causes. A person without medical education should not engage in self-diagnosis and self-medication, even if a pimple has just popped up; this will prevent many problems. It is especially necessary to visit a doctor if the elements appear shortly after unprotected sexual intercourse.

Pimples in the labia area appear as a result of any disturbances in the functioning of the woman’s body. Such neoplasms often cause pain and disrupt emotional and physical well-being. Acne can occur due to many reasons.

Most often, the occurrence of acne is associated with basic poor personal hygiene or, conversely, due to too careful adherence to cleanliness rules, which can ultimately lead to the formation of microcracks in the mucous membrane, through which microbes penetrate inside.

Including acne can be a consequence of the occurrence of any disease. In any case, when the first formations appear on the labia, it is necessary to take all necessary measures and consult a doctor in order to accurately exclude them, which in the initial stage of the rash may be similar to acne.

The appearance of white pimples in the labia area

Small white pimples in the labia area may be accompanied by purulent discharge. As the purulent head matures, the pimple dries out and goes away.

There can be several reasons for the occurrence of such acne:

• Injury to the hairline as a result of hair removal in the bikini area by epilation or shaving. After a hair removal procedure, irritation appears on the skin, which often leads to an inflammatory process in the hair follicles. This causes pimples with cloudy white fluid to form.
• When wearing underwear made of non-natural fabrics that are not able to properly transmit moisture and air, the skin under the clothes overheats and irritation occurs.
• A sharp change in temperature - hypothermia or overheating of the body can also cause the formation of white pimples. When the temperature is too high or too low, blood circulation is disrupted, this leads to a decrease in immunity and the body weakens. Microbes get an excellent opportunity to easily penetrate the skin and begin active, uncontrolled reproduction.
• If white pimples appear in the area of ​​the labia minora on the mucous membrane or nearby, you should pay special attention to the woman’s condition. It is quite possible that such pimples signal the presence of some sexually transmitted sexually transmitted disease. In particular, such a disease may be one that can be contracted. If there is any suspicion of having a sexually transmitted disease, you should definitely consult a venereologist or gynecologist. The doctor will conduct a full examination, test for the presence of viruses and prescribe the necessary treatment. It is necessary to start treatment as early as possible in order to heal faster.

The appearance of subcutaneous acne in the labia area

Pimples under the skin in the labia area form in the form of small, imperceptible bumps that do not cause pain, but can be detected by palpation.

Such acne can have several reasons for its formation:

• When a woman’s sebaceous glands are enlarged, subcutaneous pimples can form and not cause any harm to the body. They can be seen through thin skin. However, the presence of such acne is not associated with any disease, but is a feature of the female body. Pimples under the skin may periodically change in size, but such formations usually do not cause concern to a woman and are not treated.
• Due to abundant fat secretions, the sebaceous glands on the skin can become clogged, which leads to the formation of so-called wen. If the fatty cyst is not inflamed, it does not pose any danger to women's health. Otherwise, the fat cyst is removed through surgery.
• Pimples under the skin of a painful nature in the area of ​​the labia minora and majora may indicate a decrease in immunity. In a weakened state, microbes can easily get under the skin and develop active activity there. Treatment in this case is prescribed by a gynecologist and rheumatologist.

The appearance of red pimples in the labia area

When reddish rashes form in the labia area, you need to pay attention to the size and palpability of the pimples. If the pimples are small and not painful, it may be acne.

• If the rash is particularly painful and there are large inflammatory foci, red pimples can signal a malfunction of the hormonal system and endocrine diseases. This phenomenon can be found especially often at the time of puberty in girls, as well as in women at the onset of menopause.
• Another cause of red pimples on the labia may be a woman’s nervous fatigue, lack of sleep or a stressful situation. All this leads to a malfunction of the body. In principle, here is the same mechanism that leads to the appearance of and.

The occurrence of cold pimples in the labia area

A similar rash in the labia area can occur due to the body being in cold temperatures for a long time, which leads to hypothermia.

It is important to understand that a common cold can develop into a viral one, which in turn will lead to suppuration of the formations. This can lead to blood poisoning, so it is necessary not to let the disease progress and be treated promptly.

The appearance of watery pimples in the labia area

Watery pimples in the female genital area can look different. With watery and transparent pimples, which have a dense consistency and a pointed top, the presence of papillomas is most often noted.

They are formed due to decreased immunity with a weakened body, lack of vitamins and activity of the human papillomavirus.

If the labia also have the form of blisters filled with liquid, this indicates the occurrence of herpes. These pimples may burst and release clear fluid. In this case, you need to contact a gynecologist to choose the right treatment for the disease. It is important to remember that herpes is a virus and is transmitted sexually, so you should avoid sexual intercourse during the treatment period in order to protect your partner.

Medical help for acne in the labia area

The formation of acne of various kinds in the labia area most often indicates the presence of any serious diseases in the body.

It is important to immediately contact a gynecologist or dermatologist if you notice acne in the genitals if:

1. The rash cannot be treated within seven days;
2. The labia become swollen and red, which is accompanied by severe itching;
3. The reddish rash is accompanied by peeling of the skin;
4. Pimples contain fluid;
5. Acne appeared after sexual intercourse, especially if the partner is not permanent and protection was not provided;
6. The rash is accompanied by a deterioration in the woman’s general physical condition, an increase in body temperature and swelling of the lymph nodes;
7. Wounds formed that did not heal for more than two weeks.

What to do if acne occurs on the labia

The first step is to see a doctor and get examined. After diagnosis and tests, the doctor will prescribe the necessary treatment.

If you find acne in the labia area, you should use regular baby soap; however, there is no need to use cosmetic products for the care of the intimate part of the body, as they can cause skin irritation due to the presence of dyes and fragrances.

To remove hair in the bikini area, it is advisable to use a depilatory cream that will not harm sensitive skin and will gently remove hair without any skin irritation.

You should not resort to self-medication if you find pimples on the labia, as the cause of their appearance may be disturbances in the hormonal system or any serious illness. If treated incorrectly or not treated, complications or inflammation may occur, leading to the development of infertility. The use of antibiotics without medical supervision often provokes the appearance of dysbacteriosis.

Rashes and single pimples that appear in intimate places may not cause much inconvenience, but their appearance cannot be ignored. This is always an alarming signal that a malfunction has occurred in the female body. Only a specialist can tell how serious the problem is, so you should definitely consult a doctor.

Reasons

• If lumps appear on the labia of a teenager, there is no reason to worry - this is a temporary inflammation of the hair follicle. Excessive activity of the sebaceous glands clogs the pores, and this in turn contributes to the inflammatory process. As soon as the hair grows, the inflammation will go away on its own. There is no need to take any special actions to combat such a pimple. It is important to maintain hygiene and lead a healthy lifestyle.
• An infection in the hair follicle can lead to a lump with redness. In such a pimple, a certain amount of pus collects - an inflammatory process occurs in the hair follicle.
• Tight underwear and poor hygiene can damage the epidermis, and this in turn causes irritation and rashes.
• A specific skin reaction, for example, Fordyce granules - small white nodules. This is not a disease, but a feature of this organism.
• Sexually transmitted infectious diseases can cause various rashes (including painful ones).
• New growths on the labia are not always pimples. If an infection with the human papillomavirus occurs, growths (papillomas and condylomas) may appear.
• With hormonal imbalance, rashes also occur, including on the labia.

Photo 1: The appearance of rashes on the labia is a peculiar reaction of the body to certain processes. How serious the causes of pimples on the labia are can only be said after a thorough examination (including laboratory examination).

Red pimples on the labia

The cause of such a rash may be external factors:

• skin irritation,
• hypothermia,
• stressful situation,
• excitement,
• lack of sleep,
• poor hygiene.

But there may be a more serious reason - internal disorders caused by infections (viral, bacterial) or hormonal imbalance.

If red pimples are caused by external factors, then once they are eliminated, the problem will be solved. To make red rashes go away faster, you can use homeopathic medicines that help strengthen the immune system and normalize metabolism in the body. Thus, you can easily correct the situation and avoid the use of medications.

Pay attention! If the rash on the labia does not go away within 7 days, you should immediately consult a doctor!

White pimples on the labia

The most harmless white pimples in the intimate area appear as a result of poor hygiene or improper care. Sometimes they are discovered during depilation. More often - with subsequent inflammation and pain.

A rash or single pimples with a white head indicate that an inflammatory process is beginning. Therefore, before this problem is identified, it is necessary to eliminate all external factors that may provoke this. For example, you need to change your underwear and not use synthetic materials. Use only natural hygiene products. Avoid substances that may cause an allergic reaction.

If the cause of white pimples is an infection, this will be easily determined by laboratory testing. Treating the infection will be the only way to eliminate white pimples on the labia.

Itchy pimples on the labia

This problem is causing great concern. In addition to discomfort, such rashes may indicate the presence of serious health problems. It must be said that many sexually transmitted infectious diseases appear even 4-6 weeks after unprotected contact. Therefore, if lumps or growths that cause itching are noticed on the genitals, you should definitely get tested and consult a specialist. Among the infections that manifest themselves as itchy rashes are such serious diseases as syphilis, herpes, and molluscum contagiosum.

What to do

If the rashes do not cause discomfort or bother you, you can observe them for 3-4 days, and if there is no improvement, be sure to consult a doctor.

A rash caused by external factors does not require special treatment. It is enough to eliminate the cause - cure the cold, change synthetic underwear, replace hygiene products with hypoallergenic ones, etc. For many women, the use of high-quality hygiene products is a very important condition. Rashes can be caused by scented pads and wet wipes that are not suitable for your body. For use in the intimate area, special products are needed that, upon contact with the mucous membrane, will not disturb the normal pH level.

Homeopathic treatment

Homeopathic medicines are prescribed individually for each patient, however, they are often used to treat acne in the genital area.

Pimples on the labia are a common phenomenon that, for obvious reasons, worries almost all representatives of the fairer sex. Few people attach importance to this formation, but the lesions should be given the closest attention.

The fact is that any changes in the skin in the intimate area indicate that either some kind of infection has appeared in the body, or some negative factor has entered into the woman’s habitual image.

Types of acne in intimate places

Experts identify several types of acne that appear on the genitals:

• - a fairly large formation that looks like a huge pimple with purulent contents. Causes a lot of pain and discomfort, especially in case of constant contact with underwear;
• - numerous rashes, small in size and of various shapes;
• inflammation of the Bartholin gland (otherwise known as bartholinitis) is a pimple that appears in the inner layers of the skin and causes an inflammatory process;
• and papillomas - watery pimples with a transparent, pointed tip;
• acne is a very painful foci of inflammation that constantly produces large amounts of pus;
• genital herpes - these pimples on the labia are a consequence of sexually transmitted diseases and cause severe itching in the affected areas;
• sebaceous gland cysts are a cluster of small, light-colored pimples that often do not manifest themselves at all.

It should be noted that the cause of acne in the intimate area can also be various injuries, cuts and other types of deformation of the skin, in which microbes enter the epidermis. They are the ones who initiate the appearance of rashes, which, by the way, are easy to get rid of.

Due to the fact that there are a great many types of acne, there are, accordingly, many reasons for their appearance. That is why the most reasonable option is to contact a gynecologist, who, based on the clinical picture and additional examinations, will be able to identify the nature of their formation and prescribe appropriate treatment.

Causes of rashes on the genitals

The main reasons may be the following:

1. Awkward age. Teenage girls can often develop a pimple on the labia majora, which looks like a small lump. It should not be considered a reason for panic, since it is a simple blockage of the sebaceous glands, which actively develop during puberty. After hair growth, the rashes will disappear on their own.
2. Inflammation of the hair follicle. It is characterized by the appearance of a small compaction with purulent contents. The skin around it begins to turn red, and the pimple itself gradually increases in size.
3. Wearing uncomfortable underwear. Tight and uncomfortable clothes cause the skin to stop receiving fresh oxygen, which inevitably leads to clogged pores. Also, this underwear can cause microtraumas through which infection can enter the skin. This also includes wearing synthetic underwear.
4. Sexually transmitted diseases. Perhaps the most common reason why a pimple may appear on the small lip. These rashes appear on the inside and look like small red dots. In most cases they form in the form of clusters, although single forms are also possible.
5. Skin Features. Certain types of acne may appear not due to infection or anything else, but as a consequence of the individual characteristics of the skin. These include, for example, .
6. Hormonal imbalance. The resulting imbalance of hormones will lead to small pimples spreading throughout the groin area, which, as a rule, are not painful, but cause severe itching.
7. Human papillomavirus. Due to the impact of this virus, condylomas and papillomas are formed. Pimples appear in the most inconvenient places, where they can easily be injured. Certain types of papillomas may simply be a cosmetic defect, but some cause cervical cancer. Pointed papillomas are a serious reason to consult a gynecologist.

Unfortunately, the most common causes of most rashes on the labia remain poor personal hygiene and synthetic underwear.

When to go to the doctor?

A visit to a specialist should be made when there are signs of the disease. These are severe pain, itching or burning, the presence of a red rash and the watery nature of acne. Also of concern should be the fact that acne does not go away after 5-7 days.

It is possible and necessary to eliminate acne on the labia only after you have been examined by an appropriate specialist. Without knowing the reasons and using treatment methods chosen at random, you can seriously harm your body.
