Otherwise known as vacne, it refers to blemishes concentrated around the pubic area— I am talking angry spots around the bikini line, more sore than usual as they’re in an especially sensitive place.
The vaginal area has sweat glands and hair follicles that are prone to buildup, just like any other of the body. A pimple or acne here or there is completely to be expected. This phenomenon is actually called vulva acne. It can occur totally on it’s own, independent from an ingrown hair or razor burn. And if you love to workout, you may be more prone to it. I would say I see vulvar acne most commonly in avid exercisers where there can be more friction to the vulva, such as in spinning classes. It’s important to note the difference between vulva acne, an ingrown hair, and something more serious like an STD. First, don’t jump to conclusions if you notice bumps down there especially if you haven’t been sexually active or have been practicing safe sex. Ingrown hairs, can cause folliculitis, a.k.a. an inflamed hair follicle. This occurs either after shaving or waxing. They can look similar to other body acne, with whiteheads and all but don’t pop them! Sweat is one of the leading causes of pimples on your vulva, so make sure you change out of any moist or sweaty clothing and keep the area as dry as possible and that includes wet bathing suits. If you opt to get rid of some or all of your pubic hair, it’s important to do it the right way. For prevention, it is helpful to get rid of hair that is causing ingrown in the bikini line that lead to painful pimples. This means gentle shaving practices using shaving cream instead of plain soap and water. For the ultimate solution, laser hair removal can get rid of dark and thicker hairs. If you’re planning on waxing, be sure the area is clean ahead of time, and exfoliate after any hair removal to avoid ingrown hair.
Natural tomatoe is a very good natural skin lightening ingredient. You can just cut it in half and rub it on the skin, this will serve as soft exfoliation as well. Or you can use its juice in any way you want. Do it as regularly as you can, since it’s natural if cannot do any harm. At the fourth or fifth time, you will start noticing the difference. Try showering with antibacterial body wash using a loofah, then pat area dry apply with hazel using cotton ball then apply hydrocortisone for ingrown hairs. It works great. There are commercial after-shaving treatments available that claim to reduce the chances of getting razor bumps. One big issue many people have is that they confuse razor bumps with pimples, often leading them to assume that you should never remove a razor bump just as you should never pop a zit.
