But even if everything is asymptomatic, aesthetically unhealthy skin looks very unattractive. As a result, the girl begins to pack. It should be immediately recalled that in no case, under no circumstances should you self-medicate. Only dermatologists and gynecologists can diagnose and prescribe medications.

Wrong hair removal and substandard laundry
Pimples in the pubic area bother almost every woman.a woman who removes hair with a razor, epilator, wax. Microcracks and cuts that occur when using a blade are an ideal environment for bacteria to multiply. In this case, it is recommended to replace the above-mentioned products with creams, laser hair removal or other modern products designed to combat unwanted hair. Another reason is ingrown hairs. Before starting the procedure, treat the skin with soft exfoliating scrubs. This will help get rid of the keratinized particles that prevent hair from growing normally. At the same time, be careful not to injure or irritate the mucous membrane. Your underwear plays an important role in this case. Firstly, it should not be too tight. Secondly, buy things made of natural materials. Synthetics may look more beautiful, expensive and pretentious, but they are very harmful. For example, you may develop an allergy because of them. Plus, tightly pressed to the skin, underwear does not allow it to breathe, does not let air through and prevents normal heat exchange. As a result, the so-called "greenhouse effect" occurs under the clothes, you begin to sweat, and irritation and hives appear on the body.

Externally, such a formation looks like an intradermal seal, but it causes itching and pain. Some representatives of the fair sex take it for a harmless pimple and begin self-medication. Women, having listened to "knowledgeable" people (girlfriends, neighbors), apply bandages with absorbable ointments to the problem area, pick everything with a needle, etc. Such actions are dangerous to health, since along with the ointment, the contents of the seal can enter the bloodstream, causing its infection.
