Acne on the genitals occurs for the same reasons it occurs on the face, back or any other place on the body. It is simply adding insult to the injury of having to survive adolescence that it occurs in such a private spot. You have my sympathy. Keep clean, eat a healthy diet and wait. It will go away.

There are many causes of vaginal acne. They may include the following:

Bacteria in the pores in skin which make infection on the body

Excess use of anabolic steroids

Excessive exposure to high levels of chlorine compounds

Any drugs that include halogens, barbiturates and androgens

Stress through increased production of levels of hormones from the adrenal glands

Collections of dead skin cells

Hyperactive sebaceous glands

Any scratching or irritation of the skin will be activated inflammation

Hormonal activities such as menstrual periods and puberty

The main causes of vaginal acne are narrowing of the hair follicle and hormone-driven excess production of sebum.
