What causes acne on the vulva?

The hot summer is here, we sweat like rain, and bacteria are everywhere. Women often experience a series of conditions, such as small acne-like bumps on the surface of the vulva of their reproductive organs, and sometimes unbearable itching. At this time, don't be anxious and don't scratch directly with your hands, because there are many bacteria on your hands, which will aggravate the condition. In fact, the causes of these conditions are diverse.

Bad hygiene habits: Not paying attention to the local cleanliness of the vulva, long-term stimulation by sebum, sweat, menstrual blood, vaginal secretions, or immersion in urine and feces can cause vulvar itching. Sanitary napkins during menstruation and non-breathable synthetic underwear on a regular basis can cause itching and rashes on the vulva due to prolonged accumulation of damp heat in the local area.

In summer, many women like to wear tight underwear, which leads to excessive sweating, bacterial growth, and itching and pimples on the vulva.

Special infections: Candida vaginitis and Trichomonas vaginitis are the most common causes of vulvar itching. Pubic lice and scabies can also cause itching and bumps on the vulva.

Other skin lesions: bruises, common warts, herpes, tumors, etc. can all cause itching and bumps on the vulva.

Drug allergy or chemical irritation: Soap, condoms, benzalkonium bromide, etc. can cause contact or allergic dermatitis due to direct irritation or allergy, resulting in itchy and bumpy vulva.

Vulvar squamous cell hyperplasia: The main symptom is severe itching, accompanied by whitening of the vulvar skin.

If a woman experiences vulvar itching and small bumps, she should go to the hospital for routine check-ups and receive timely treatment to avoid worsening conditions. This is not a particularly serious disease. She should develop good hygiene habits, try to wear breathable underwear, and do a good job of prevention. I also hope that women can realize the seriousness of gynecological diseases.
