What should I do if there is a small pimple on my vulva?

The appearance of one, several or even many small bumps on the vulva is a very common phenomenon among women in daily life. Generally speaking, the small bumps on the vulva will not cause serious discomfort to the patient, but in order to avoid worsening of the situation, it is still necessary for everyone to understand some relevant knowledge. Next, I will briefly answer the question of what to do if a small pimple grows on the vulva.

Possible causes of the disease:

1. Bad hygiene habits: Not paying attention to the local cleanliness of the vulva, long-term stimulation by sebum, sweat, menstrual blood, vaginal secretions, or immersion in urine and feces can cause pimples on the vulva.

2. Sanitary napkins during menstruation and non-breathable synthetic underwear at other times can induce itching due to prolonged accumulation of moisture and heat in the local area.

3. Special infections: Candida vaginitis and Trichomonas vaginitis are the most common causes of vulvar itching.

4. Vulvar squamous cell hyperplasia: The main symptom is severe itching, accompanied by whitening of the vulvar skin.

5. Drug allergy or chemical irritation: Soap, condoms, benzalkonium bromide, etc. can cause contact or allergic dermatitis due to direct irritation or allergy, resulting in symptoms such as vulvar itching.

Note:

Keep the vulva clean and dry, especially during menstruation, pregnancy and postpartum period, wash the vulva and change underwear every day. Do not wear synthetic underwear or tight pants, wear cotton underwear. When taking a local sitz bath, pay attention to the solution concentration, temperature, time, and precautions. People with vulvar itching should cut their nails and wash their hands frequently, and avoid scratching their skin to prevent ulceration and infection, which may lead to secondary bacterial infection. Do not use irritating soaps, medicines, or water that is too cold or too hot to clean the vulva, so as not to disrupt the acid-base balance of the vagina.

The above content is a simple explanation and analysis of what to do if a small bump grows on the vulva. I hope that friends can pay more attention to the above-mentioned precautions in daily life, maintain good personal genital hygiene, and reduce the growth of genital bacteria. In this way, the probability of genital diseases will naturally be reduced a lot.
