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.

Daily care: do not scratch; underwear should be made of cotton, loose and comfortable to prevent friction; live a regular life, get up early and go to bed early, and exercise moderately; quit smoking, drinking, strong tea, coffee and all spicy and irritating foods, and avoid irritating drugs.

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, is common in women aged 20 to 30. It often appears on the mucous membrane inside the labia and the urethral opening, appearing in groups 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.

Daily care: Maintain local cleanliness and a local dry environment to avoid irritation such as friction on the affected area.

4. Vestibular gland cyst

Small bumps on the vulva may be vestibular gland cysts. The entrance and exit of the greater vestibular glands are located on the inner side of the labia, and bacteria can easily invade and cause inflammation. Generally, the bacteria first invade the epithelial cells of the Bartholin's gland ducts, causing swelling of the mucosa, or causing cervical adhesions after the branch duct tissue is destroyed, resulting in branch duct obstruction, and secretions cannot be discharged, resulting in Bartholin's gland swelling. It is often unilateral and varies in size.

Daily care: wash with potassium permanganate solution; pay attention to private hygiene; pay attention to diet.

5. Vulvitis

Another possibility for small bumps on the vulva is vulvitis: it is caused by vaginitis caused by bacteria, fungi, Trichomonas, etc., which irritate the skin of the private parts through secretions.

Daily care: pay attention to hygiene and adjust your diet.
