What causes pimples on female genitals?

The appearance of bumps on a woman's genitals usually causes panic, because this symptom is closely related to sexually transmitted diseases such as genital warts and is a characteristic of epilepsy. However, the presence of bumps does not necessarily mean it is genital warts. We need to have a systematic understanding of possible lesions. So, what is the reason for pimples on women's genitals? Let's take a closer look at it below.

1. Vestibular gland cyst.

Small bumps on the vulva may be Bartholin's gland cysts. The exit of the Bartholin's gland is located on the inner side of the labia minora, making it easy for bacteria to invade and cause inflammation.

Generally, bacteria first invade the epithelium of the Bartholin's gland ducts, causing the mucosa to swell, or the uterine adhesions occur after the tissue at the opening of the duct is destroyed, causing the opening of the duct to be blocked, and the secretions cannot be discharged, thus forming a Bartholin's gland cyst. It is often unilateral and of varying sizes. It may also be an early manifestation of vulvar inflammation.

2. Viral infection or inflammation.

There are other possibilities for small bumps on the vulva: one is caused by human papillomavirus infection, called genital warts; the other is caused by general vaginal inflammation due to excessive leucorrhea and irritation, called pseudo-warts. Pseudocondyloma is a very common vulvar manifestation, which manifests as velvety or villous protrusions on the inner side of the labia minora. They may be pink or slightly transparent, roe-like, and of relatively uniform size, with no subjective symptoms.

3. Vulvar inflammation.

Another possible reason for small bumps on the vulva is vulvitis: this is caused by a large amount of leucorrhea irritating the skin in the labia area. In daily life, the vulva is easily contaminated with urine, feces, and leucorrhea, so that the vulva skin is often in a humid environment, which is suitable for bacterial growth. At this time, if the vulvar skin is abraded, or if hygiene is not paid attention to, or the body's resistance is reduced, the hair follicles and surrounding tissues will be infected by staphylococci and other bacteria, which will cause local vulvitis.

The above is an introduction to why pimples appear on women’s genitals. I hope it will be helpful for women to understand. The pimples on female genitals are mainly caused by these three situations. No matter what the cause is, the impact on women's health cannot be ignored. When it is discovered, it is best to go to a regular hospital for examination. Only when the condition is confirmed can better treatment be carried out.
