Hello Doctor,
Could the presence of a vaginal pimple every month indicate the possibility of having a sexually transmitted disease (STD)? Please help clarify my doubt
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1.Ingrown Hair: One common cause is ingrown hairs. Shaving or waxing in the genital area can sometimes lead to hair follicles becoming inflamed and developing into pimples.
2.Blocked Sweat Glands: Sweat glands in the genital region can get blocked, leading to the formation of a pimple-like bump. This can happen due to sweating or friction.
3.Folliculitis: Inflammation of the hair follicles, known as folliculitis, can cause pimple-like bumps. This can result from bacterial or fungal infections.
4.Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during the menstrual cycle, can contribute to the development of pimples in the genital area.
5.Hygiene Practices: Poor personal hygiene may also lead to the accumulation of bacteria and other microorganisms, contributing to the formation of pimples.
Thanks
