Spotting white bumps along your genitals can be worrying, but there is actually a really simple reason for why this could be happening to you.

While the small, white pus-filled pimples are most likely nothing to be worried about you should definitely check in with your doctor if you're fearful that you've developed genital herpes.

However, pimples along the inner lips of the vagina are generally safe, and share similar characteristics to those found on any other part of the skin.

Genital pimples usually appear in clumps or one at a time. They are firm to touch but, unlike genital herpes, they should not itch or hurt.

The most common reasons why the tiny pimples appear is just like any pimple, pores become clogged. Pimples surface in areas that are prone to sweat. Because the vagina is covered with underwear and clothing, it can become sweaty and oil can easily get clogged into the pores as a result.

Other reasons for the pimples may just be a simple ingrown hair, or folliculitis - a skin condition where hair follicles become inflammed.

Unfortunately, there isn't a one stop shop cure for vaginal pimples, and given that they don't present much of a health risk there is no reason to be overly concerned about them either.

The only way to really reduce the amount of pimples that develop down there is to practice good hygiene, wear loose fitted clothing, opt to go commando every now and then, and avoid restrictive materials like lyca.
