Pimple therapy
The basis of prevention and treatment of pus pimples in the vagina is adequate hygiene. Adequate and individually well tolerated care products should be used. In addition, underwear made of well-tolerated, preferably natural materials should be worn.
They should fit as snugly as possible and be comfortable, otherwise there may be friction which can strain the intimate area. Cotton is particularly suitable because it is a breathable material that does not produce too much moisture, which in turn promotes infections. If certain ingredients of detergents, tampons, sanitary towels and condoms are not tolerated, alternatives should be sought.
In addition, a healthy diet rich in vitamins and nutrients, a balanced lifestyle with a balance between activity, exercise and relaxation helps to strengthen the immune system and promotes a healthy skin flora, including in the vagina. Accordingly, a diet rich in sugar and fat, cigarettes and alcohol should be avoided. Overweight should be avoided if possible, as this can also lead to increased sweating, moisture and friction in the vaginal area and may imply inflammation in that area.
If an intimate shave is responsible for the discomfort in the vagina, a good razor blade should be used. It is advisable to change the razor blade frequently. Even though it may seem paradoxical: the sharper the blade, the less risk of skin injuries.
Consequently, the risk of bacterial inflammation and the development of pimples in the vagina are correspondingly lower. In addition, the shaver should be adequately cleaned after every shave. If the symptoms due to wet shaving persist, it would be advisable to consider a change in depilation methods.
Isolated and occasionally occurring pus pimples in the vagina can be easily removed by these measures. In addition, creams and ointments containing chamomile and witch hazel can have a soothing effect on the outer pubic area. In some cases homeopathic remedies have a supportive effect.
Hepar sulfuris and silicea are usually used for this purpose. If the complaints are based on harmless causes, these measures may be sufficient.However, if the pimples appear permanently or repeatedly, a doctor should be consulted. If the inflammation is already advanced, certain antibiotic ointments with anti-inflammatory agents may be the remedy of choice.
If necessary, antibiotics must be given in tablet form and, in case of complications, by infusion. If the pimples are acne inversa, do not use classical acne therapeutics. Instead, there are good therapeutic successes with TNF-alpha blockers.
