Pimples on my vagina that ooze bloody pus when I pop them : / HELP?

[Anonymous]

I'm a virgin. I've never even been fingered. Since I was 12 or 13, I've gotten random pimples on my vagina. I pop them and there's a lot of pus, more pus then I've ever gotten from pimples on my face. Sometimes they even bleed. It's disgusting and embarassing. I'm worried they'll leave scars D: What do I do? Is this normal? Any creams to help? *sorry for blocking anon users yet asking anonymously but I didn't want any rude asshols here and I couldn't show my face because this is a very personal issue. Hope you understand :)

There are quite a few reasons that this could be happening. For instance, shaving. Are you going with the hair, against or across? Always soak whatever place you are shaving with warmer then an average warm water. After a few minuets of this, take your shaving cream and really work it in to the area that needs to be shaved and let it sit there for a couple of minuets. Then shave with the hair. Always follow through with the stroke and do not stroke the blade down the same run twice in a row, the skin will heat up and get irritated. Move on and then come back. Some people go against it and when you do that it cuts the hair off at an angle that leaves you more prone to an ingrown hair. If you are moderate to out of control with your hair, use something like a personal trimmer. Using the largest and working to using no guard, you will get pretty close to nothing and then you soak, lather, shave( remember - go in one direction only and to move and come back later), rinse, soap rinse and pat dry. There are some creams and other type of items (gel, lotion, oil) that slow or inhibit growth and after you get the areas how you want them, they will help you keep it that way with out getting ingrown hairs or razor burn. Razor burn is from shaving to much in one area, or to fast. That is another thing, slow down. It is not a race, if it is delicate skin then you might be happy that you are going slow.

Another thing is a lot of girls but the cheapest shaving cream that they can. It is not all made equal, or even made for females. Never mind made for underarm skin or pubic areas. They can irritate or cause a change in your Ph balance or infection. There are some in cakes(that you have to add water, lather with a feather application brush) that work great besides regular shaving cream.

It could be from an allergy from the elastic in your underwear, the fabric or even from rubbing one area to long.

It could be a soap your shower with.

It could be from skin rubbing an area and causing ingrown hairs, it could be the shaving cream or simply that you think shaving your legs, shaving your arm pits and shaving your pubic/vaginal area all need the fast and furious approach. Take it slow, take your time. Hell pre-soak in a hot tub. Make sure you use a new blade every other time. The hair between these three places are different, thicker, some with more oils, some grow in different hair flow patterns/directions. Take your time, the results alone will be worth it. Maintain it regularly. Also do not forget to use a daily application of baby oil or body butter to keep those areas soft and supple when you are done and on days between shaving. It is like any other skin on your body, treat it right - protect it and it will do you right!

If these do not help, they get worse then please see a doctor. Although any zit if squeezed hard enough, will bleed. If you do not let them seep they can get marble sized under the skin and cause an infection.

Did a little more research for you ladies having this problem. Hope that this enclosed link helps you all out! Good luck, and remember slow and easy, take your time and do not forget to go for your annual breast cancer exam as well as your ob-gyn regardless of age. PEACE!

Are you shaving down there? Because if you are, there's a chance you're not shaving properly or cleaning it well afterward with moisturizer. When you shave, you remove your first layer of skin which consists of dead skin cells protect your under layers. Often I get pimples after I shave my face because I didn't do it properly.

I get them all of the time whether I shave or not. But like everyone elsesays, they're probably ingrown hairs, which can be caused by shaving, tight underwear & even tight pants.. First, stop popping them because you could get an infection, which you don't want because that is an extremely sensitive area. If you really have to, just use a warm rag to break the white head but don't over squeeze. Second, get to a Dr because it may not be ingrown hairs they can be cysts, which it you don't remove the root they'll just keep coming back.

Sometimes you can get bacterial infections and such from ... Yourself. Please tell your mom and get to the doctors straight away. It could be something easily fixed or eerily serious so please, for the sake of your health tell somebody. I know it's scary and embarrassing but it's be worse if you became hospitalized for it... Then everyone would know. You can get some stds from just skin to skin contact like grinding or even being in water unchlorinated.

[Ubetiburn]

You can NOT get an STD from having skin only to skin only contact. There has to be a bodily fluid involved that has that virus/bacteria contained in the sample. Think of how many toilets, sink handles, dryer buttons that you have touched, they all contain skin from other users, it flakes off every second. Never heard of anyone getting Gonorrhea from swimming in a salt water pool or the ocean or a lake, river, stream or quarry. Just saying...

[Sexydncr]

Gonorrhea, genital herpes, and a few others CAN be spread by skin to skin contact. The "you only get stds from vaginal seminal fluid" is a myth. Andorra if the bacteria spreads so while it is uncommon, hot tubs for example are breeding places for bacteria... I just leaned abou this in health and am reading this straight of the teacher notes

[Sexydncr]

You can get bacterial stds where the bacteria spreads to the thighs and in gonorrhea the eyes and other parts of the face. Syphillis causes you to get chancres all over your body that are dangerous. Sorry I have no idea what the third sentence was supposed to be... Stupid auto correct

It sounds like ingrown hairs to me. Bad ones. Do you have exceptionally coarse hair down there? Do you shave? That could be why. That's pretty much the only thing I can think of that you'd get down there that would resemble a pimple.

If you don't think they're ingrown hairs... I don't know what else they could be. You should go to the doctor.

[Catvshuman]

Ya maybe shaving issues.

[Beetledove]

If you shave ingrown hairs can cause that. You may want to see a doctor just to be sure everything is good down there. I don't you have anything serious to worry about though

[uncleruckus]

you get your phone & call your doctor or mom and have her call the doctor for you. you set up an appointment go to it and describe your problem to the doctor. they give you advice and maybe some medication. then after X amount of time you go back for a check. then you see if it comes back when you stop treatment. if it comes back you get further treatment. THE END
