What are the reasons for acne in the perineum?

Patient's question:

In the past few days, a pimple has grown on my perineum, which is somewhat similar to the acne that many people get on their faces. When I press it with my hand, it hurts a bit. However, I've noticed that my urine has been very yellow lately, and I'm not sure if it's because I'm having a "fire" in my body. I haven't engaged in any unsafe sexual behavior. I'd like to ask an expert: what are the possible causes of a pimple growing on the perineum?

Doctor's answer:

Early manifestations of genital warts appear as pale red papules, and the red papules gradually increase in size and number, with a tendency to overlap. The skin surface shows raised lesions, fusing into papillary, cauliflower-like, or chicken-like formations. Since genital warts primarily affect the urethra, patients may experience urethral discomfort, a sense of urethral obstruction, or difficulty urinating.
During the care period, it is essential to follow a light diet, consuming more fruits and vegetables like apples and cucumbers. Drinking plenty of plain water is also important, while avoiding greasy, spicy, and (stimulating) junk food. Quitting smoking and alcohol is particularly crucial. Patients may consider professional treatment methods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
