Other determining factors are: being overweight, poor hygiene, clothing that is too tight and some pathologies such as diabetes .

Vaginal pimples can be both under the skin and visible, complete with a bump – which can reach the size of a golf ball – filled with white or yellow pus.

In most cases, don't be alarmed because they break by themselves and disappear as they came. Sometimes manual intervention is necessary, while surgery is rarely necessary.
