Girls have hard lumps below

Women's genitals are exposed, and if you don't pay attention to them, various abnormalities are likely to occur. In daily life, many women find hard lumps below their bodies. They are definitely very worried about this situation and want to know the specific causative factors so that they can solve the problem accordingly. So, what is the reason why girls get hard bumps down there? Let’s take a look below.

Folliculitis

Folliculitis is an inflammation of the hair follicles caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The female vulva is covered with pubic hair from the mons pubis to the skin outside the labia majora. In daily life, because the vulva is easily contaminated with urine, feces and leucorrhea, the skin of the vulva is often in a humid environment, and this humid environment is very suitable for bacterial growth. The disease is prone to occur on the head, neck, buttocks, perianal area or other parts of the body, and tends to recur. It often occurs in multiple places, is stubborn in nature, and is difficult to cure.

In addition, the estrogen level in menopausal women decreases, causing the resistance of the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva to decrease. Therefore, if menopausal women do not pay attention to the hygiene of their vulva or have abrasions on the vulva skin, the hair follicles and surrounding tissues there are easily infected by bacteria, causing vulvar folliculitis. In the early stages of the disease, symptoms such as pain and redness of the skin may occur in the affected hair follicles and their surrounding areas. As the disease progresses, the affected hair follicles may gradually form pustules surrounded by red halos and are tender to the touch.

A hair may stick out from the top of the pustule (if there is pus, a small white dot may appear on the top of the pustule). Sometimes one hair follicle is infected, sometimes multiple. If the inflammation gets worse, the infected hair follicles may form boils.
