Vulvar folliculitis

Vulvar folliculitis is a condition whereby the hair follicles of the vulva become inflamed and possibly infected.

Vulvar folliculitis can occur when your immunity is low or there has been damage to a hair follicle on the vulva. Skin without hair does not contain hair follicles.

Infection in the follicle can be caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis or Streptococcus, and can be short-term or ongoing, chronic vulvar folliculitis.

Symptoms of vulvar folliculitis

  • Inflamed hair follicles
  • Swelling
  • Redness
  • Pain
  • Irritation
  • Triggered by scratching, heat, humidity, sweating, friction
  • More common in overweight or obese women
  • Can occur due to vaginal secretions containing inflammatory agents

Preventative strategies include keeping the vulva clean, dry, and avoid any irritations.
