Yes, you can get pimples down there. Follow these expert-approved tips.
Now that it’s summer and we're all covered in sweat, it’s more important than ever to start paying attention to what’s up down there. With sweat, wet bathing suits, and friction-inducing clothes, your genital area is more at risk for certaub issues than at any other time of year. Finding a bump on your vulva can be enough to send you into a full-fledged Google-searching panic, but fear not: Not every rogue red dot is cause for concern — sometimes it may just be a pimple.
“Bumps in the vaginal area can sometimes be normal if they have been there for a relatively long time and have not been painful, grown in size, or spread over the area,” says. “Bumps to consider abnormal are those that are relatively new after a sexual encounter or a new partner, painful, or have pus or some type of discharge from them.” If they don’t fit into any of those categories, they may just be regular pimples.
Although bumps on your vagina are much more hidden than the ones on other body parts , that doesn't mean they don't deserve the same level of care. "A healthy vagina needs the same hygienic attention as any other part of your body similar to the way we care for our face," says gynecologist and author ofDr. Sherry Ross. "[The vaginal area] has sweat glands and hair follicles that are prone to buildup, just like any other of the body.
