Help?
(13/f)
I just took a bath, and I noticed that I had a couple pimples mixed in with my pubic hair..
I know that pimples are just hair folicles that grease and crap get stuffed into, so I might just be over-reacting. It's also been itching down there a lot more than usual, if that makes a difference.
I just got off my period, and I just started school last week, and we've been doing loads of stuff in gym that makes me really sweaty.
Does anyone know if I might have an infection or something, or knows that I'm just over-reacting?
Any advice is very appreciated! =9

When you take a bath,your letting your "lower half" sit in oils from your body,and soap.Soap is NOT good for your "lower half" to be submurged in.It can cause itching and infection..I'd suggest showers instead,and if that doesn't work,buy a cream.I recommend Vagisil..Good luck!

It might be a skin condition known as "Prickly Heat" or miliaria (not to be confused with "malaria" which is the tropical disease spread by mosquitoes). Here is a link to the Wikipedia page on the subject:

Notice the line down near the bottom, where it says that frequent and thorough cleaning is usually a better alternative to medication. Try using an antibacterial soap and/or an exfoliant. Even if it's not prickly heat, it doesn't hurt to get a little cleaner!

try after gym if you start like sweating ALOT change your undies to prevent infections. and also don't wear thongs while working out they could cause infections to spread around.
make sure you are wearing cotton undies, they are more breathable.
