What is the disease that causes acne in the perineum?

Acne is very familiar to everyone, because acne has appeared since puberty. However, as we age, acne occurs less and less frequently, which is more or less related to the secretion of hormones in the body. Of course, acne may also appear in various parts of the body, such as the head, face, back, etc. So what exactly is acne on the perineum?

1. Folliculitis. Folliculitis mostly occurs in private areas. Because this area is not ventilated for a long time, a large number of bacteria will invade. If it is not cared for at this time, the skin will be irritated, causing folliculitis. After the disease occurs, a hard lump will suddenly swell up locally and there will be pain. If the infection worsens, the folliculitis will become larger and suppurative.

2. Human papillomavirus infection, also known as genital warts in clinical practice, is generally caused by inflammatory stimulation due to long-term vaginitis and untreated treatment. During the illness, patients will not only develop local red bumps, but may also have symptoms of excessive vaginal discharge. If not cleaned, it may cause skin redness and swelling, and eventually erosion symptoms will occur.

3. Bartholin's gland cyst. This disease usually occurs on the inner side of the labia minora and is also closely related to bacterial infection. Long-term skin irritation may cause itching and discomfort, and you may even scratch it with your hands. In this process, bacteria may repeatedly infect the local area, causing the condition to worsen. Some serious conditions may require surgical treatment.

The reasons why women develop acne on the perineum are the reasons we introduced above. Everyone needs to pay attention to them, and the causes must be prevented in order to control local infections, and symptomatic treatment is also required. If the symptoms are caused by inflammation, you will need to take antibiotics for a long time until the condition is under control. You will also need to pay attention to keeping the local area clean and hygienic to prevent the invasion of bacteria.
