Why do women get acne on their vulva?

1. Ectopia of sebaceous glands

It usually occurs after puberty, mainly in the labia majora and perineum in women. It is about the size of a grain of millet, light yellow or light white, and most patients have no pain or itching. A few female patients may experience slight itching due to leucorrhea stimulation.

2. Vulvitis

Vulvitis is also one of the causes of vulvar acne in women. Vulvitis is an inflammation of the vulva caused by pathogen invasion or various adverse stimulations. It can exist independently, and is more often associated with vaginitis, urinary tract diseases, and anus. It may be complicated by rectal disease or systemic disease, or it may be one of the manifestations of certain vulvar diseases.

Clinical manifestations include itching, pain, burning or even swelling, rash, erosion, and ulcers on the vulvar skin.

3. Vestibular gland cyst

Small pimples on the vulva may be vestibular gland cysts. The outlet of the Bartholin gland is located on the inside of the labia minora, making it easy for bacteria to invade and cause inflammation.

Generally, bacteria first invade the epithelium of the Bartholin gland duct, causing the mucosa to swell, or uterine adhesions may occur after the duct orifice tissue is destroyed, causing the duct orifice to be blocked and secretions cannot be discharged, forming a Bartholin gland cyst. They are often unilateral and vary in size.

4. Genital warts

The lesions start out as small light red papules, and then gradually increase in size, distributed singly or in clusters, moist and soft, with an uneven surface, with nipple-like, comb-like or cauliflower-like protrusions. Red or dirty gray. The roots often have pedicles and are prone to erosion and exudation, and can easily bleed when touched. Purulent secretions often accumulate between the cracks of the skin lesions, causing a foul odor, and secondary infection can be caused by scratching.

This disease often has no subjective symptoms. Some patients may experience foreign body sensation, pain, itching or dyspareunia. Condyloma acuminata in the rectum may cause pain, bloody stools, and tenesmus.

There are many causes of vulvar acne in women, including ectopic sebaceous glands, genital warts, and vulvitis. Female friends must pay attention to the health and hygiene of their private parts, adjust their diet, arrange their work and rest time reasonably, and exercise appropriately. If necessary, go to the hospital for timely examination and investigation.
