Women's vulva is fragile and often prone to problems such as acne. If a woman has acne on the vulva, it can cause itching and seriously affect her life and work. So, why does the female vulva develop acne? How to care for the external genitalia?
Why does the female vulva develop acne?
1. Ectopic sebaceous gland
It mostly occurs after puberty, and in women, it mainly occurs in the labia minora and perineum. About the size of a grain of rice, light yellow or light white, most patients are painless and not itchy, while a few female patients may experience mild itching due to vaginal stimulation.
2. Vulvitis
Women suffering from vulvitis is also one of the causes of vulvar acne. Vulvitis is an inflammation of the vulva caused by pathogen invasion or various adverse stimuli, which can exist independently and is more often associated with vaginitis, urinary system diseases, anorectal diseases, or systemic diseases, or is one of the manifestations of certain vulvar diseases. Clinical manifestations include itching, pain, burning sensation, even swelling, redness, erosion, and ulcers on the external genitalia skin.
3. Vestibular gland cyst
A small lump on the external genitalia may be a vestibular gland cyst, with the outlet of the vestibular gland located on the inner side of the labia minora. Bacteria are prone to invasion and cause inflammation.
Generally, bacteria first invade the epithelium of the vestibular gland duct, causing swelling of the mucosa or uterine adhesions due to the rupture of the duct opening tissue, causing the duct opening to be blocked and secretions to be unable to be discharged, resulting in the formation of vestibular gland swelling cysts. Mostly unilateral, with varying sizes.
4. Condyloma acuminatum
At the beginning of the injury, there are subtle light red papules, which gradually increase in size and are distributed in a single or clustered manner. They are moist and soft, with an uneven surface and appear as papillary, cockscomb, or cauliflower like protrusions. Red or dirty gray. The root often has a pedicle and is prone to erosion and exudation. It is prone to bleeding when touched, and there is often purulent secretion accumulation between the skin lesions and cracks, causing a foul odor and secondary infection caused by scratching
This disease often has no conscious symptoms, and some patients may experience foreign body sensation, pain, itching, or sexual intercourse pain. Genital warts in the rectum can cause pain, bloody stools, and severe sensations.
There are many reasons for female genital acne, including sebaceous gland ectopia, genital warts, and vulvitis. Female friends should pay attention to the health and hygiene of their private areas, adjust their diet, arrange their rest time reasonably, and exercise moderately. Go to the hospital for examination if necessary.
