Sometimes genital acne is associated with the condition that it is caused by poor hygiene practices. But this is not the cause of genital acne or the acne which affects the other area of the body. Genital acne is most commonly known as folliculitis, which is an infection in the skin's pores, in the groin area. Causes of Genital AcneThe cause of genital acne is the accumulation of sweat, caused by sports equipment or clothing. Showering often can help reduce the outbreaks of genital acne. Another common cause of acne is severe irritation caused by dead skin cells shedding too quickly, or by the release of toxic, inflammatory substances through the skin.

Make sure you give the treatment that you choose time to work on your genital lumps acne. Most treatments need a month or two to begin working. Question: what is genital acne? Is it just like acne but on you genitals? Is it an infection. What do I have and how can i get rid of it? (Michel, 18 yrs, Uk) Solution- There is actually no such thing as "genital acne", it's actually something called hidradenitis suppurativa. It is essentially the same thing as it is caused by a blockage of sweat glands around the genitals that can cause infections. The infection comes out in small pimple like lesions that look a lot like acne. Using an antibacterial soap or cleanser in the area could help clear up the problem.
