There is a pimple on the vulva, it hurts a bit

The female vulva is acidic. If it is not cleaned well for a long time, various bacteria and viruses will gather here. In severe cases, pimples will grow, accompanied by strong pain and swelling. Such pimples are mainly caused by skin nodules or fibroids. They must be eliminated and resolved in time, otherwise they will develop into cancer. You need to go to a specialized department of the hospital for targeted treatment.

If small bumps appear on the vulva, it is not necessarily genital warts. It may be a cyst of the sebaceous gland, a fibroma under the skin, a flat wart, or a skin nodule. The main symptoms of genital warts are: its surface is rough and cauliflower-like. This new organism can appear on the vulva. It may be as small as a grain of rice, or as large as a broad bean or even an egg. It is easy to bleed when in contact, and some may have secretions with an odor.

Genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, with proliferative lesions in the anal and genital area as the main manifestation. Most cases occur in young and middle-aged people aged 18 to 50. The disease occurs after an incubation period of about half a month to eight months, with an average of three months. This disease is relatively common and is mainly transmitted through sexual contact.

There are different types of HPV. The most common HPV types that cause genital warts are HPV types 6 and 11. HPV can easily survive and reproduce in the warm and humid conditions of the human body, so the external genitalia and perianal area are the most susceptible areas to infection. There are several ways of transmission:

1. Sexual contact transmission

is the main route of transmission. Therefore, this disease is prone to occur among people with disordered sexual relations.

2. Indirect contact transmission

A small number of patients may become ill through contact with items used by patients, such as underwear, bath towels, bathtubs, toilet seats, etc.

3. Mother-to-child transmission

During delivery, the disease is transmitted through the birth canal and may cause laryngeal papilloma in the infant.
