Do you know why you have acne around your vagina?

As we all know, the structure of the female vagina is very complex and it is also a very sensitive area. The vagina is often in an oxygen-free state, and vaginal secretions can cause moisture, so bacteria can easily breed in this area, leading to acne around the vagina. In addition, there are many other reasons that cause acne around the vagina.

1. 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.

2. 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. In 1970, experts discovered 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.

3. The number of Staphylococci in pubic hair is high

In the private area where pubic hair grows, of course, all kinds of bacteria live together, but a 1979 study found that the pubic hair of women 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.

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 bath or swimming pool is also one of the main causes of acne in the private parts. For example, bathing pools in Japan require nude bathing, the water in the pool is rolling, and it is inspected regularly, which reduces the chance of getting sick. 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.
