3. Clinical manifestations of vulvar folliculitis

The skin around the hair follicles of the vulva becomes red, swollen and painful, gradually forming a cone-shaped pustule with a pubic hair protruding from its center. Pustules may be multiple, and adjacent small pustules may fuse together to form large pustules, accompanied by severe congestion, edema and pain in the vulva.

The diagnosis can be made based on clinical manifestations, physical signs, and the relationship of the lesions to the hair follicles. That is, superficial pustules centered on the pubic hair, with mild inflammation and shallow infiltration. Those who have recurrent symptoms should be careful to check whether they also have diabetes.
