Why do pimples appear on pubic area?

As a woman, do you care about your private parts? We all think that it is normal to have acne on the face, which is a little red and swollen and painful to touch. But women’s most precious private parts sometimes also get acne. So why do acne appear on the genitals? This confuses many women. Let’s learn about it together.

Expert answer: Acne is one of the most common diseases in cosmetic dermatology, also known as pimples, blackheads, or folliculitis. Except for children, about 80% to 90% of the population suffers from or has suffered from the disease (including mild cases).

Acne is a skin disease caused by blockage and inflammation of hair follicles and sebaceous glands. During puberty, hormones in the body stimulate hair growth and promote the sebaceous glands to secrete more oil. As a result, many substances accumulate in the hair and sebaceous glands, allowing oil and bacteria to attach, causing redness and swelling of the skin. Since this symptom is common in young men and women, it is often called "acne". In fact, not all teenagers will get acne, and acne does not necessarily only appear on teenagers.

Acne is a chronic skin disease that occurs in the sebaceous glands of the hair follicles. It often grows in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the head, face, neck, chest, back, and occasionally in the perineum. If sebum is secreted too much, causing the outlet to be blocked and accumulate in the sebaceous gland duct of the hair follicles, it is easy for bacteria to breed and cause infection, thus forming inflammation and acne. In severe cases, the area will become red, swollen, hot, painful, and even fester.

In daily life, the perineum is difficult to clean thoroughly because it is easily contaminated with urine, feces, and leucorrhea. Moreover, the vulvar skin is often in a humid environment, which is suitable for bacterial growth. Coupled with the excessive oil secretion of the skin, it is not surprising to get acne. If you find acne on your perineum but no other discomfort, you don't need to worry too much. Just drink more water and pay attention to local cleaning and keep it clean.

Try not to scratch the affected area with your hands, and do not squeeze or pick at pimples to avoid cross infection. If it's not serious, the inflammation will go away on its own. You can also apply some anti-inflammatory and antibacterial ointments locally under the guidance of a doctor. If there are many pimples in the perineum, the pimples are large, severely red and swollen, and tend to fester, you should go to the hospital in time and take some antibiotics as prescribed by the doctor.

Keep your private parts dry and breathable:

The female genitals are moist all year round. If they can be adequately ventilated, the possibility of gynecological diseases can be reduced. Excessive moisture in the private parts can easily lead to candidal vaginitis. Try to avoid using non-breathable sanitary pads.

Don't sit for long periods of time. Lack of exercise in the lower body can lead to pelvic congestion, which is not good for the heart and blood vessels, and can also cause sagging breasts in women. Persisting in exercise and strengthening the waist and abdominal muscles can greatly help maintain your figure and prevent various gynecological diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease, and can also improve the quality of your sex life. There are many yoga exercises that specifically target abdominal circulation and are very effective.

Moderate sex life is the best SPA for your private parts. Avoid excessive sex life. Excessive sexual excitement will cause extreme endocrine hyperactivity, leading to an increased incidence of breast hyperplasia and uterine fibroids.

In terms of diet, you should be an "omnivore", eat more than 4 kinds of fruits and vegetables every day, eat fish twice a week, and consume various grains and dairy products for breakfast, and appropriately supplement fiber, folic acid, vitamin C and vitamin E.

Making sure to eat breakfast every day can effectively promote metabolism and keep blood vessels and the immune system young.

Why do I get acne on my pubic area? This is a very normal situation, so we should keep our private parts clean at ordinary times. When we are not wearing underwear, we should keep our private parts dry. There will be no problem. We should also develop the habit of self-examination, find problems, solve them, and make our private parts healthier.
