Common Causes Of Vaginal Pimples

In today’s age, the stigma around talking about feminine care and  hygiene is rapidly fading away and paving the path for feminine hygiene  to be openly discussed. Feminine hygiene is no longer taboo and is  considered a crucial part of overall women’s health. At its core,  feminine hygiene is for feeling and smelling fresh down there. Feminine  hygiene isn’t only about keeping odours at bay and you feel comfortable  in your own skin, it’s crucial to preventing infections as well.

Common Causes Of Vaginal Pimples

1. Contact Dermatitis Vaginal pimples are likely caused by contact dermatitis. This is a  reaction to something that touches the skin. Contact dermatitis of the  genitals may be caused by sensitivity to: – Bubble baths and soaps, especially if they contain fragrances – Feminine wipes, deodorants, lotions, powders, or perfumes – Tampons or sanitary pads, learn how to choose the right sanitary pad here – Spermicides, condoms, lubricants, or sexual arousal stimulants – Over-the-counter topical medications – Laundry detergent and dryer sheets

2. Folliculitis Bumps on the vagina may be a result of infection of the hair follicle  due to bacteria. Shaving your pubic hair is one potential cause of  folliculitis. As your hair starts growing out of the follicle, it curls  back toward the skin, causing irritation. In some cases, the hair grows  back into the skin (ingrown hair). The roughness of a razor on sensitive  skin can also cause razor burn, bumps, blisters or pimples.

3. Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), also called acne inversa, is a chronic  disease of the sweat glands. It causes pimple-like lesions around the  body, including the vulvar area. The cause of this rare inflammatory  disease isn’t clear.

4. Molluscum Contagiosum Molluscum contagiosum is a viral infection that can cause pimples  anywhere on the body, including a pimple on the vaginal lip. Treatment  isn’t always needed, but it can be treated with topical or oral  medication. If necessary, your doctor can also remove the pimples.
