What Causes Acne-Like Bumps on the Vulva?

The specific causes of acne in the genital area are as follows: 1. Bacterial infection: The female genital area is naturally a closed, poorly ventilated environment. Inadequate hygiene and neglect of personal cleanliness can facilitate excessive bacterial proliferation in this region, potentially triggering inflammation and resulting in acne. 2. Folliculitis: The genital area is normally colonized by various bacteria and pathogens, which typically coexist in a balanced state. However, when an individual’s immune resistance significantly declines, bacterial infection may occur, leading to inflammation of the hair follicles (folliculitis) and subsequent acne development. Patients are advised to maintain local hygiene and change and wash undergarments regularly.
