Common conclusions

Based on your answers, there are several other ways that can help you manage vaginal pimples. You should avoid popping vaginal pimples because that way you release bacteria, so the infection can spread to the surrounding skin. You can also make the pain worse. You can apply a warm compress to the affected area; leave it there for ten minutes, and repeat this procedure several times a day. The heat speeds up blood circulation and helps fight infection. Be sure to keep the vaginal area dry. You should wear loose underwear and clothes until your vaginal pimples disappear to avoid rubbing on the delicate pubic skin.

Based on your answers, you know a lot about how to manage vaginal pimples. You can use antibacterial soaps when taking a shower. You can also try benzoyl peroxide, which works by reducing the amount of acne-causing bacteria and causes the skin to dry out and peel. Try not to wear underwear to bed to allow your skin to "breathe" and speed up the healing process. Vaginal pimples, as well as pimples on your face, are often a consequence of a hormonal imbalance that contributes to the excessive growth of bacteria. In this case, talk to your doctor about your treatment options.
