Vaginal Care 101
The cause of a bump on vagina isn’t always obvious, but there are a few reasons you may have pimples around your genitals. Some of them are:
1. Contact Dermatitis Vaginal pimples are likely caused by contact dermatitis. Any irritation of the skin can result in the formation of pimples.
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.
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.
4. Molluscum Contagiosum Molluscum contagiosum is a viral infection that can cause pimples anywhere on the body, including a pimple on the vaginal lip.
