Causes of pimples on the vulva

It is a common phenomenon that some strange small bumps grow on the vulva. Most female friends will experience this situation. Generally speaking, these small bumps have no effect and are not painful or itchy. However, some are more serious and can cause itching, odor and other troublesome symptoms. Next, let’s briefly talk about the simple explanation of the cause of pimples on the vulva.

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.

6. Small bumps on the vulva may be caused by vulvar folliculitis, which is an inflammation caused by non-specific purulent bacteria invading the hair follicles of the vulva. Scratching, friction, high temperature, humidity and sweating are the triggering factors of this disease. When the vulvar skin is stimulated by vaginal secretions such as lochia, inflammatory leucorrhea, sweat, moisture, etc., and the patient does not pay attention to the local cleanliness of the vulva, pathogens invade the hair follicles and cause vulvar folliculitis.

The above is a comprehensive analysis of the causes of vulvar pimples. I hope it can be helpful to friends who are confused about the causes of vulvar pimples. The pimples on the pubic area are not actually serious. As long as you pay attention to personal hygiene in your daily life and wash your underwear frequently, you can improve the problem to some extent.
