What is vulvar acne?

Some women will find that they have some acne-like things on their vulva, and sometimes they will have symptoms such as itching and pain. In fact, the appearance of acne on the vulva may be caused by certain diseases, such as folliculitis, skin cysts, or vulvitis. The following editor will introduce some specific reasons for the appearance of acne on the female vulva.

Generally, there are many possible causes for vulvar lumps: folliculitis, cysts, vulvitis, etc.

The symptoms of vulvitis are: the patient first feels discomfort in the vulva, followed by itching and pain, or a burning sensation. At the same time, the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva (including the labia majora, minora, and clitoris) may have varying degrees of swelling and congestion. In severe cases, erosions, ulcers, or large areas of eczema may form, accompanied by painful urination and pain during sexual intercourse.

When folliculitis occurs in the vulva, the vulva may become severely swollen and painful due to the occurrence of abscesses, and then a furuncle may form. The diagnosis of nonspecific vulvitis is generally not difficult, but it is also important to distinguish it from other lesions of the vulva, such as Behcet's syndrome and white lesions of the vulva.

Inflammation of the vulva and vagina should be treated promptly to eliminate external factors that may cause lesions. If you suffer from vulvar lumps, you should go to a regular specialist hospital for treatment in time to prevent the disease from developing to a serious degree, turning into cancer, and endangering your life.

In addition, due to the stimulation of physical and chemical factors in life, lack of attention to hygiene, and physical weakness, women's vulva can be invaded by bacteria, causing vulvitis, such as cervical and vaginal inflammation; or wearing non-breathable nylon underwear causes excessive vaginal secretions and irritation of the vulva; urine soaking the vulva; using unclean sanitary napkins and toilet paper causing vulvar infection, etc. These factors will create conditions for the growth and reproduction of bacteria in the vulva.

Therefore, the vulva should be kept clean and dry during treatment, especially during menstruation, pregnancy and postpartum period, and the vulva should be washed and underwear should be changed every day. Do not wear synthetic underwear or tight pants, wear cotton underwear. When taking a local sitz bath, pay attention to the solution concentration, temperature, time, and precautions.

People with vulvar itching should cut their nails and wash their hands frequently, and avoid scratching their skin to prevent ulceration and infection, which may lead to secondary bacterial infection. Avoid using harsh soaps, medicines, or water that is too cold or too hot to clean your vulva.

Therefore, female friends must pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, clean the vulva with warm water every day, avoid unclean sexual intercourse, and go to the hospital for examination in time when feeling itching, pain, or pustules and other discomforts. If any disease is found, go to a regular hospital for treatment in time.
