Vaginal pimples can be caused by a variety of factors, including contact dermatitis, folliculitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and molluscum contagiosum. Some common irritants and allergens that can contribute to vaginal pimples include douches, feminine hygiene products, fragranced soaps and shower washes, laundry detergents, personal lubricants, spermicides, or condoms, perspiration, sanitary pads or tampons, semen, and urine.

If the cause of the irritation is determined to be a product, it should be removed from use and changed. The first step to deciding the correct treatment is to uncover the cause of the pimples. Keeping a note of the occurrence of vaginal pimples and any products, activities, or other factors that may affect the genital area, including shaving and hot tub usage, can help identify the cause.

Topical medications or antihistamines may be recommended if contact dermatitis is the root cause of the pimples. Infections can be treated with topical or oral antibiotics. Pimples caused by ingrown hairs usually clear up on their own. Early diagnosis and treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa can keep it from getting worse. Molluscum contagiosum can be treated with topical or oral medication, and if necessary, a doctor can remove the pimples.

It is best not to try to pop a vaginal pimple, as it can spread bacteria and lead to infection. For another, this sensitive area can be easily irritated. If you’re not sure what’s causing your pimples, hold off on using over-the-counter medications and see your doctor.
