Frequent acne on genitals

The phenomenon of acne on the facial skin has troubled many people, but some women also find that acne often appears on the genitals. Acne on the genitals will make a woman worry about whether she has a gynecological disease, because when acne appears on the genitals, it will also cause itching in the genitals, and this itching condition is similar to vaginitis. Women who often suffer from acne on the genitals must be familiar with the causes of acne on the genitals.

Why do women get acne on their private parts?

1. There are parasites in the pubic hair follicles

The human skin is not as clean as a piece of white paper, but is home to countless species of bacteria, most of which are good bacteria, and only a few are pathogens, but they are usually in a benign state. Experts have found that these parasites are not all scattered on the surface of the skin. Some of them live in the hair follicles and even migrate to the adjacent sebaceous glands.

2. There are many Staphylococci in the pubic hair

In the private area where pubic hair grows, of course, all kinds of bacteria live together. Studies have found that women's pubic hair has a higher number of staphylococci than other parts of the body. At the same time, because it is too close to the anus, a large number of E. coli often invade here. The combination of these two evil forces is the main reason why women who always love to keep themselves clean will get acne in their private parts for no reason.

3. Thick hair roots are prone to bacterial infection

Thick hair roots lead to thicker hair follicle pores, so external bacteria and dirt can easily invade and infect the hair follicle pores and hair follicle glands. In addition, hair can generate static electricity, and floating dust can easily stick to the hair roots, adding another source of infection. That is why people who don’t like to wash their hair often have minor scalp diseases. Modern young girls often have bangs that hang down to their eyes, and their foreheads are often covered for a long time, resulting in acne on their foreheads. This is the reason.

4. Folliculitis causes vaginal acne

Compared with the appearance of hair, pubic hair is very delicate, and it cannot spread and grow like hair. The skin at the bottom of the hair root is not as tough as the scalp, so there is no need to trim it. However, due to workplace reasons (such as models) or love of beauty, many women tend to shave this area cleanly. However, due to improper handling or scratches, the pathogens living in the pubic area are stimulated, folliculitis occurs, and acne will appear on the surface of the vagina.

5. Unclean swimming pools or bathing pools

The cleanliness of the bathtub or swimming pool is also one of the culprits for acne in the private parts. For example, bathing in Japanese bathtubs requires nude bathing, the water in the pool is rolling, and it is inspected regularly, so the chance of getting sick is reduced. Fortunately, the symptoms of private folliculitis are very mild on the surface and are discovered early, so they can be solved by taking medicine. The most worrying thing is that the disease is ignored or the elderly with the disease delay seeking medical treatment. Once the bacteria penetrate deep into the hair follicles and cause suppuration, it will be troublesome.

To keep a woman's private parts healthy, she must keep them clean and maintain good hygiene to reduce the chance of infection. Also, avoid contact with unclean swimming pools and hot tubs.

How do women take care of their vagina?

1. Daily vaginal care

(1) Exercise to contract the pelvic floor muscles

This strengthens the pelvic floor muscles, which is important for women to have more intense, more ecstatic orgasms.

(2) Conduct annual inspections

Have a gynecological check-up at least once a year. In addition to routine checkups, you can also use this opportunity to talk to your doctor about contraception and other issues related to your sex life.

(3) Wear cotton underwear

Cotton underwear is the most suitable clothing for the vagina. Professor Min Jin also suggested that when staying at home, you might as well wear pants without underwear, which will help your private parts breathe.

(4) Say no to vaginal douching

The vagina has self-cleaning properties. In addition, several studies have found that using inserted cleaning devices to clean the vagina increases the risk of vaginal infections, pelvic inflammation, and sexually transmitted diseases.

(5) Drink yogurt regularly

Drinking yogurt containing active bacteria regularly can help the reproduction of beneficial vaginal bacteria, thereby preventing vaginal yeast infections. However, be sure to avoid drinking high-sugar yogurt, as this can make vaginal yeast infections more likely.

(6) Learn to clean

The skin near the female vagina is very delicate and sensitive, and soap can make the skin of the private area dry. In fact, you only need to use warm water to keep the vagina clean. If you feel that water is not enough to wash it clean, you can use non-irritating soap.

(7) Be careful when riding

If a woman enjoys the sport, she is at increased risk of experiencing numbness, pain, tingling, and other symptoms in her genitals while cycling. Therefore, when cycling, you should wear thick shorts and adjust your posture to prevent pain in your private parts.

(8) Remember to wear a condom during sex

Wearing a condom can not only prevent sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies, but also keep the pH value of the vagina at its current level, which is conducive to the survival of some good bacteria (such as lactic acid bacteria). Don't underestimate these beneficial bacteria, they can prevent vaginal yeast infections, urinary tract infections, and bacterial vaginosis, among other things.

2. Vulvar care during menstruation

During menstruation, you must maintain good hygiene. Sanitary napkins and underwear must be changed frequently. You should use a special basin to wash your vulva, and it should not be mixed with your own washbasin or foot basin. In addition, after defecation, you should wipe from front to back, rather than from back to front, to avoid bringing dirt into the vagina and causing inflammation.

3. Vulvar care during pregnancy

During pregnancy, the amount of leucorrhea will increase, which is easy to be infected by bacteria. It needs to be washed with warm water every day, and the number of washes is not limited. Pregnant women can wash the vulva by showering. When showering, there is no need to use shower gel or soap every day, just clean water. In addition, pregnant women should pay special attention to cleanliness before and after defecation, and remember to wash their hands before cleaning to avoid infection.

4. Vulva care during lactation

There is a saying that goes, if pregnant women take good care of themselves during the confinement period after giving birth, they can avoid and treat many diseases. However, if they do not do so well, they will develop a disease and their health will be ruined for the rest of their lives. This is especially true for the care of the vulva. During the confinement period, the mother's vulva will have more secretions. Therefore, you can use warm water and potassium permanganate solution to clean the vulva every day. Perineal pads should be changed frequently and kept dry and clean.
