Customer question:
What is the reason for the formation of a subcutaneous pimple on the vagina? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
The formation of a subcutaneous pimple on the vagina can be caused by several different factors, including:
- Inflammation of the hair follicle: A subcutaneous pimple can appear when the hair follicle in the vagina is inflamed. A bacterial infection, irritation, or damage to the hair follicle can cause hair follicle inflammation.
- Sweat and humidity: areas where the skin rubs or is exposed to sweat and humidity are more prone to pimples. The vagina can become moist from sweating or wearing tight clothing.
- Shaving irritation: Shaving or removing hair in the vaginal area can irritate the hair follicles and trigger the appearance of subcutaneous pimples.
- Using irritating products: irritating soaps, shaving gels, or other intimate hygiene products can irritate and contribute to forming pimples.
- Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes, such as those during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause, can affect the skin and increase the tendency for pimples to appear.
- Genetic predisposition: some people are genetically more prone to skin problems, including the appearance of subcutaneous pimples.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections (STDs): In some cases, subcutaneous pimples on the vagina can indicate sexually transmitted infections (STDs), such as herpes or genital warts.
