Is it possible to get whiteheads on your genitals?


Question:
I know that's disgusting, but my friend and I were talking and she told me about something she found down there that greatly resembled a whitehead. My reaction was "What the f*ck" and I have to know if it possible...

Answers:
Yes.

Some people can get acne down in their genital area, just like people get acne and whiteheads on their face.

Shaving can also cause ingrown hairs which can get infected and look like a whitehead. The hair gets stuck underneath the skin and puss starts to build up.

These bumps will usually go away within a few days.

Genital herpes are large fluid filled sores, they DON'T look like whiteheads. They are also VERY painful and sore.
sounds more like herpes..which causes white sores
I have no idea but you should go get it checked out asap!
if u mean like a pimple?? then yes! you can get a pimple anywhere! BUT, make sure it's just a pimple and not a STD, tell her to go to a clinic like planned parenthood where testing for ALL STD's is free. no matter what your income is or how old u r. if she really feels something is wrong and even if she doesn't and she has had sex, please get her to go and get tested. like i said planned parenthood is COMPLETELY FREE!
Yes it is, this happens due to the moisture that you have. This is normal. If it is really bothersome she can use a little baby powder or some FDS to help. It is normal!

I've worked in Ob-Gyn for over 8 years and seen just about everything down there trust me!
That sounds like HPV(warts) or Molluscum.

However, yeah, it's totally possible and normal to have pimples on your hoo-ha...(I get em on my butt-TMI, I know)
A lot of times, you can get get infected sweat glands or ingrown pubic hairs (especially if you wax or shave your bikini line or pubic hairs) which look like this. It's perfectly normal. They kind of hurt, then get a head and form pus, just like whiteheads. Gross, but normal.
could be herpes, genital warts, ingrown hairs, cysts, or maybe just razor burn..if it's oozing or it hurts she needs to be checked out especially if she's sexually active.
you can get sp-ots any where on your body...but if it sp-reds then advice her to go get it cheacked out always better to be save then sorry
yes it is u have pores every where
might be a pimple or if she shaves a ingrown hair if its on her top of her vagina (mons pubis)where you hair is , genital herps looks like similar to cauliflower , but to be sure she should go to the doctor : )
sounds like a std or a cyst. have her go to the doc, either way it's not good
