What causes genital acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No such thing: The skin of the genitals does not get acne. However, it is populated by hair follicles that can become inflamed for a number of reasons like shaving/infection with common skin germs. It can also have that appearance with a few of the STD's.
