The condition called "genital acne" is actually called other things in medical terms: acne inversa, or hidradenitis suppurativa. It is not quite acne in the sense that it does not involve sebaceous glands, as in the face, but instead involves apocrine glands, which are found primarily in the armpit, nipple and genital areas.
When a person sweats much in the genital area, also incidentally an area where the body comes into constant friction with cloth, apocrine glands become blocked. This leads to the formation of a bump filled with a liquid that looks like pus. These characteristics make it so easy to mistake the bump on one's genitals for a pimple, specifically a pustule. And like pimples, these bumps also go away in the span of a few days. Showering regularly and using an antibacterial soap on the inflamed area ought to reduce the rate of occurrence.

I have this too. It is not an STD...my gyno actually said that it might be malascis...not sure on the spelling. But that's what it sounded like. I'm having a hard time finding information out about it. But keeping clean doesn't make them not come. Sometimes they pop an other times they just look like skin colored moles. I have had to buy the little round bandaids to put on the ones that pop because they fall on my underwear line. They get irrated when it rubs against any sort of clothing.

you are not really alone. i didnt start to see these bumps until i was with my first love 3 in a half years ago. when ever he wanted to perform oral sex he would sheve the hair off my vagina with clippers. now that i can remember he never cleaned them either. thats when it started happening, but like others he never had the symptoms. all he would do was bust them and a little blood would come out. there was never itching or odor . but right now i have one and it is on the lips if my vagina. it doesnt hurt, itch or have a smell, its jus a uncomfortable feeling especially when i have my underwear on and im walking.i looked it up and other websites are calling this a sebaceous cyst. i really hope that this problem that we are having is really jus this.

I have the same problem and i'm going to the doctor in a few week for it. Mind have been coming up for the last few year. They are full of pulse like stuff, and it stays there looking like an ugly bump for a while. Is there any kind of treatment for this?

I've had this problem for almost 10 years and none of my doctors would tell me what is was. I get hard round knots around my vagina and most of the time they "burst" and have puss and blood in them, rarely to they just disappear. My current GYN diagnosed it as excessive sweating and my sweat glands get built up and need to release. He said some people have surgery to remove the scaring and sometimes that helps but he's referring me to a dermatologist because they are the ones to actually treat it.
Here is a link for home remedies but I'm going the route of medical.

Hay ladies I have had this problem for a long while now like once a year at least for about 3 years. I have spent a great deal of time talking and visiting any doctor or specialist that would see me. I have been told that its bacteria in my body that is tring to escape and have no where to go - To me being too moist in that area. So I use to wear panty liners and I stop wearing them and I seen a change then I went back because I was leaking they gave me some mess for bacteria infection so now I pack a little bag inside of my purse with extra panties and just stay as dry as possie. So if this don't help you then Im sorry. But it worked for me. KT. ?

most of you all sound like you may just have impurity bumps. bumps that form when your body is trying to release any impurities, i'm not a doctor or anything but when i asked my mom about it this is what she said it may be. she asked me if i had been drinking water regularly and i replied no and she said that may be why i'm getting them. they come once a month and sometimes once every 2 months but there never on my shaft just in the hair or in the crease where its most moist at. it's probably just you alls diet though so dont worry to much. drink more water and see what happens.

Hello :-) I have the red bumps with the white heads on them. They do not hurt or itch, whereas herpes are more like a cluster of blisters that burn and itch. My gynocologist punctured and drained the first puss pocket, then she told me I could drain them at home without having to have it done by a doctor. She recommended to keep area sanitized (i use peroxide prior to draining, then apply again throughout the next few days). She called them cysts or abseses, and it's common.
