Is acne on women’s private parts a gynecological disease?

Although they can heal on their own, people are always a little worried whether they are a sign of gynecological disease?

This kind of pimple on the face usually does not need to be worried too much.

If you find that the pimples on your face are growing, getting bigger or losing color, or even showing signs of infection (such as swelling, itching, strong odor), or even suppuration, it may be a sign of gynecological disease!

Causes of vulvar acne

1. Vulvar inflammation

If you have small bumps on your vulva, you may have vulvitis, which is caused by a lot of secretions irritating the skin of the vulva. In daily life, because the private parts are easily contaminated with urine, excrement and secretions, the private parts skin is often in a moist environment, which is suitable for the growth of bacteria.

2. Genital warts

Genital warts are a common sexually transmitted disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), which is usually transmitted through direct or indirect contact. The virus infects the skin and mucous membranes through minor damages in some areas, and after a certain period of danger, cauliflower-like growths and cockscomb-like growths appear.

Daily care: No sexual intercourse during the treatment period; pay attention to diet; wear cotton underwear; underwear should be washed with mild soap.

3. Pseudo-condyloma

Pseudo-condyloma, also known as villous labia minora, is common in women aged 20 to 30. It often appears on the mucous membrane inside the labia minora and the urethral opening, appearing as a large group of fish roe-like papules or velvety finger-like protrusions, with a moist, red and shiny surface. There is no clear explanation for the cause of pseudo-condyloma acuminatum. It may be related to inflammation such as vaginitis or sexual intercourse.
