Vaginal acne is basically just the same as common
acne that occurs on the face, arms or chest and shoulders. It is
just that the place in the body where they appear is
different - in this case the vagina. In the first
stages, the vaginal
acne appears
red in color but in advanced stages, it transforms into
a cyst. The surrounding area might become painful and
inflamed as well. Though the appearance of vaginal acne
might seem similar to vaginal herpes, vaginal acne is
not contagious.
Causes of Acne
There are basically three main factors that lead
to the occurrence of acne, be it teen acne, adult acne
or vaginal
acne.
· Hormonal imbalance
- When there is a hormonal
imbalance in the body, the sebum glands start producing
sebum or natural oil excessively.
· Toxic build up
- The toxins start building up in
our body when the organs that are responsible for
expelling these toxins from our body fail to do
so.
· A particular genetic sensitivity of the sebum
glands towards the hormonal imbalance. Where this
genetic sensitivity is present in the sebum glands only
then does the sebum glands react to the hormonal
imbalance and start producing excess sebum. And when
this excess sebum combines with the toxins present in
the blood and lymph the perfect environment for the acne bacteria is created and they
start flourishing.
You need to treat your vaginal acne
just the way you would treat it if it occurred anywhere
else on the body. Wash it with a mild anti bacterial
soap and keep the area clean. Don't rub it hard or try
to "pop" it because that can cause injury and the acne
can get infected. Infected vaginal acne can lead to lot
of pain and trouble. The acne generally gets resolved
with time, but if that doesn't happen then you might
need to seek medical attention to make sure it is not
infected.
