Hey, I've been getting pimples on my crotch. It's not near the vaginal opening or anything, but it's been happening for a few months, usually after wearing bike shorts. While I know it might be sweat build up, I worry that it could be something more serious. Any advice?
Hi!
Much like other areas of your body, getting pimples is very natural, especially if you're sweating a lot more than usual. As long as they're not getting infected frequently and/or causing you extreme pain/distress, it should be fine!
If you have the option, there's nothing wrong with talking to your doctor about it but what you're describing is very natural and pretty common. I wouldn't worry unless you're experiencing either of the warning signs I mentioned.
It might help to make sure you're cleaning off thoroughly in the crotch area after sweating, though! That's a good way to help with breakouts caused by sweat.
Hope this helps, Anon! Let me know if you have any other questions. <3
