What causes itchy and bumpy pubic hair in women?

The female genitals are a relatively private area, and due to the characteristics of its tissue structure, the female genitals are particularly fragile, so it is easy to develop papules or small bumps, and there may also be symptoms of itchy pubic hair. All these make the lives of female friends less perfect. So, in the case of pimples like this, it may be a sexually transmitted disease or it may not be a sexually transmitted disease. The former usually occurs due to a history of unclean sexual life.

1. Pseudo-warmth warts on the vulva

There are other possibilities for small bumps on the vulva: one is caused by human papillomavirus infection, called genital warts; the other is caused by general vaginal inflammation due to excessive leucorrhea and irritation, called pseudo-warts. Pseudocondyloma is a very common vulvar manifestation, which manifests as velvety or villous protrusions on the inner side of the labia minora. They may be pink or slightly transparent, roe-like, and of relatively uniform size, with no subjective symptoms. Pseudo-warmth warts do not affect physiological functions and are not sexually transmitted diseases, so they generally do not require treatment.

2. Bowenoid papulosis

Occurs in young and middle-aged women who are sexually active. After diagnosis, local physical therapy should be used, such as laser, freezing, electrocautery, etc.

3. Sebaceous gland ectopic disease

It occurs in young people, and those under 30 years old account for 75% of the total number of cases.

4. Vestibular gland cyst

Small bumps on the vulva may be Bartholin's gland cysts. The exit of the Bartholin's gland is located on the inner side of the labia minora, making it easy for bacteria to invade and cause inflammation.

5. Vulvar inflammation

Because the vulva is easily contaminated by urine, feces, and leucorrhea, the vulva skin is often in a humid environment, making it easy for bacteria to grow. At this time, if the vulvar skin is abraded, or if hygiene is not paid attention to, or the body's resistance is reduced, the hair follicles and the surrounding tissues will be infected by bacteria.

The above are small bumps on the genitals that are not caused by sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, sexually transmitted diseases are usually caused by unclean sexual life, but if there is no unclean sexual life, the possibility is relatively small. Therefore, when small pimples appear in the genitals, it is necessary to distinguish them in time to avoid delaying the treatment, because the treatment methods for small pimples caused by these two reasons are different and require symptomatic treatment.
