Pimples on lower body after menstruation

Women should pay attention to their own hygiene, wash with clean and warm water every day and keep it dry, especially during menstruation. However, it is common for some women to get acne on their genitals after menstruation, which has a lot to do with long-term skin stimulation by sebum or vaginal secretions. When acne appears, in addition to washing with clean water, it should also be kept dry. If it itches, do not scratch it to avoid making it worse.

Causes of genital acne

1. Bad hygiene habits

The vulva, like the armpits, is also a part that sweats easily. Many women like to wear tight clothes and tight pants, which are not breathable. In addition, hot weather makes it easy to sweat a lot, and excessive sweating in the private parts can easily breed bacteria. As long as you don't pay attention to the cleanliness of your genitals, sweat, sebum, and vaginal secretions will long-term irritate your genitals, causing vulvar itching and small bumps, or pimples.

Tips: Wash your private parts with warm water every day, avoid being in a hot and humid environment, and keep your private parts dry. Choose cotton underwear with good breathability and wash and change it frequently every day.

2. Gynecological diseases

Due to urethritis, Trichomonas infection, etc., gynecological inflammations such as vulvitis, vaginitis, and vulvar leukoplakia may occur, which may cause small acne-like bumps to grow on the vulva. If these gynecological inflammations are not treated in time, scratching when the itching occurs may cause ulcers, necrosis and other problems.

Tips: When this phenomenon occurs, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for treatment in time to avoid serious consequences.

3. Chemical stimulation

When women first experience itching in their vulva, they use some genital washes, but they may not know that they are allergic to these drugs. After using them, the itching of the private parts worsens and small pimples appear. In addition, soaps and condoms, which are the things that are most likely to come into contact with the vulva, contain chemical ingredients that can cause allergic dermatitis after use by women, resulting in itching of the vulva and small pimples.

Tips: Just wash it with clean warm water every day. If you are in a sub-healthy state and need to use a care solution, you can choose a special care solution with a pH value between 4-4.5.

4. Related to the menstrual cycle

There is a certain relationship between private acne and the menstrual cycle. Acne starts to appear before menstruation and goes away after menstruation. It is related to the endocrine system during the menstrual period. This problem occurs because the body's resistance is at its lowest before and after menstruation. In addition, women wearing synthetic underwear and not paying attention to hygiene during menstruation, coupled with sanitary napkins that are more humid and hot and not breathable, can easily cause infection, leading to vulvar itching and small acne.

Tips: During menstruation, wear loose pants, keep your lower body breathable, and change sanitary napkins frequently.
