Bacteria: Bacteria from the vagina may be disrupting the normal skin bacteria on your face. Consider cleaning your face shortly after these encounters.

Could be caused: By local skin irritation triggering a breakout, or perhaps vaginal bacteria getting into your skin pores and causing pimple formation.
