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

Health has been an issue that people have paid much attention to and valued since ancient times. For female friends, the health of the genitals is very important, because once there is any discomfort in the genitals, it will affect the mental state of the whole person. Among genital health problems, the growth of small bumps on the vulva is a common problem with a high incidence rate. Next, let’s briefly introduce what to do if a small hard lump grows on the vulva.

Possible causes of small hard bumps 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 long-term 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.

What are the corresponding solutions?

1. Keep the vulva clean and dry, especially during menstruation, pregnancy and postpartum period. Wash the vulva and change underwear every day.

2. 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.

3. 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.

Poor personal hygiene habits are a very important cause of genital diseases. Therefore, female friends should pay extra attention to their personal hygiene in daily life, change and wash underwear frequently, and disinfect and sterilize regularly to avoid problems such as infection. I hope the above knowledge about what to do if a small hard lump grows on the vulva can be helpful to friends who have doubts.
