What causes pimples on the genitals?

Genital problems are a major threat to people's health. Severe genital problems may cause patients to lose their fertility. Therefore, people are very sensitive to genital diseases. The genitals are in a closed state for a long time, which makes it easy for them to develop diseases. For example, when pimples grow on the genitals, they occur over a large area. When the symptoms are more serious, patients will feel painful and uneasy. Let's take a look at what pimples on the genitals are.

Bacterial infection of hair follicles causes purulent inflammation. Initially, it is a red papule, which gradually develops into papular pustules, which are isolated and scattered, and are slightly painful. In adults, it mainly occurs in the hairy parts, and in children, it is more common on the head. The rash can sometimes merge with each other, and small patches of alopecia may remain after healing.

Initially, it is a red, solid papule that is consistent with the opening of the hair follicle, or it starts from a follicular abscess, and then rapidly develops into a papular abscess, with hair penetrating in the middle, and red and inflamed around it, and then dries and forms a scab, which heals after about a week of scab shedding, but there are also cases of recurrence, which do not heal for many years, and some can also develop into deep infection, forming sores and warts, etc., which generally do not leave scars. The number of rashes is relatively large, isolated and scattered, and the patient feels mild pain. In adults, it mainly occurs in the hairy parts, and in children, it is more likely to occur on the head. The rashes can sometimes merge with each other, and small patches of alopecia may remain after healing.

Antibiotics can be used as appropriate. 1% neomycin ointment, mupirocin ointment, fusidic acid ointment or 2% iodine tincture can be applied topically. Ultraviolet irradiation can also be tried. For patients with recurrent attacks, self-made vaccine or polyvalent staphylococcal vaccine can be tried.

The phenomenon of pimples on the genitals is a kind of external fungal infection caused by people's failure to maintain good hygiene. This phenomenon needs people to pay great attention to it, because pimples on the genitals will spread and the consequences are very serious. If it develops into a stubborn skin disease, it will be very difficult to treat and will have a huge impact on the patient's family.
