The reason for the appearance of such benign formations may be blockage of the sebaceous glands and, as a result, inflammation. The bad thing is that due to friction, the cyst is often inflamed, so it's best to consult a doctor to remove the tumor. This operation is simple and lasts several minutes.
Thirdly, the nature of the appearance of rashes in such an intimate place can be identical to the nature of the appearance of acne on the face. Never, under any circumstances, squeeze acne.
