Acne does not restrict to just your face and you back. They can show up in the most unwanted places including your arms, thighs and your vagina. Yes, you can get pimples on your vagina. Dermatologist Dr Sejal Shah tells you why zits pop up down south.
Shaving: When you shave, you make tiny cuts on your skin which come in contact with the bacteria outside and leads to pimples. In fact, you can introduce external bacteria from the razor which can lead to zits.
Waxing: It is a no brainer that waxing can lead to pimples. Pulling out hair with hot wax can create a space for bacteria to enter which in turn can lead to a pimple.
Tight clothing: Wearing tight lowers like tight jeans or your workout gear can also lead to pimples on the vagina. Your tight clothing traps the moisture in the skin which in turn leads to breakouts.
Perspiration: Whenever you sweat, a layer of moisture is built on your skin which becomes a breeding ground for the bacteria. This leads to zits. Make sure you wash the area regularly to keep the sweat and bacteria from clogging the pores.
