pimples on vagina

Answered by a doctor

Sometimes I get pimples on, in, or around my vagina. They really are painful until they come to a head and pop. Does anyone have this problem - and do you know why this happens. It is not a sexual disease and I am a very clean person. Please help. Thanks.

bumps on arms and legs

My best friend has a red pimple on her stomach and it's been there for several weeks. We don't know what it is, it doesn't itch or turn pale when she presses on it.
