It is possible that a lump in an intimate place has a harmless "nature", but one cannot exclude the possibility that this is an alarming signal about the occurrence of a serious ailment.
Causes of occurrence:
• the occurrence of hormonal imbalance in adolescence , with menopause and pregnancy;
• “side effects” of depilation - ingrown hair, skin inflammation ;
• negative consequences of stressful situations or non-compliance with the diet;
• favorable conditions for the reproduction of bacteria due to non-observance of intimate hygiene;
• allergy to medicines;
• difficulty in “breathing” the skin due to tight-fitting underwear;
• sexually transmitted infections.
Hair follicles
Acne happens to be confused with hair follicles. These natural "objects" of further hair growth do not require close study and anxiety.
Sebaceous glands
It also happens that the sebaceous glands in intimate places confuse hypertrophy. In these places, the skin is very thin, so the glands stand out and “catch the eye”. So that such "innocent" acne does not "interfere with life," you can get rid of them with the help of vitamins, hygiene and antibacterial treatment.
Thick abscesses
A dense bump in an intimate place is the result of inflammation of the sebaceous glands. It happens from a light shade of red to dark. For treatment, you will need to first clean the problem area of ​​the skin with a water-soap solution, dry the skin and take one of the following procedures.
Aloe juice
If the bump hurts in an intimate place, aloe juice will help get rid of a purulent formation. A leaf of the plant is cut lengthwise and attached to the problem area with a patch. After 3-4 days, thanks to the healing effects of aloe, the bothersome abscess disappears, and the skin is completely restored.
Pharmacy products
Ointment "Levomekol" and hydrogen peroxide are excellent tools that help get rid of ulcers. A lump in an intimate place is processed by one of these drugs twice a day until it disappears completely. Ointments “Ichthyol” or “Vishnevsky” can also perfectly cope with such tasks.
Iodine
One of the tools that help get rid of abscesses is iodine. To do this, you need to moisten a cotton swab with iodine and attach to the problem area for 5-10 minutes.
Fat cysts
Such white cysts are small in size and are located under the skin. Their occurrence is due to blockage of the sebaceous gland by skin growths. In this case, the fatty substance accumulates, and coarsening occurs, forming a solid cone. Cysts do not cause pain or discomfort. Treatment of the bump occurs by conducting a simple and short surgical operation.
Venereal diseases
A bump in an intimate place - on the pubis, perineum and labia - is an indicator of a possible infection with a sexually transmitted infection. If, with the appearance of acne, an increase in temperature, inflammation of the lymph nodes in the groin, burning and itching in the genital area are observed, then an urgent consultation with a venereologist is necessary.
