Dr. Neeraj Agarwal
I’m an MBBS graduate with a deep commitment to providing meaningful, patient-first care. My clinical training has given me a solid understanding of how to assess and manage a wide variety of health conditions—both common and complex. But beyond just clinical skills, I’ve always believed that the heart of medicine lies in listening. That’s what I try to bring into every consultation: not just treatment, but genuine attention to the person in front of me. I have gained experience across general medicine, paediatrics, emergency care and preventive health. I have treated patients of different age groups and backgrounds, which has helped shaped a more flexible, to diagnosis and management. Whether someone comes with a new symptom or a routine check-up, I aim to deliver evidence-based treatment, explained clearly and tailored to the lifestyle. I’m especially focused on making care accessible and comfortable. Too often, patients feel rushed or confused when they leave a doctor’s office—I try to do the opposite. Taking time to explain options, risks, or even just what’s going on in simple terms is something I take seriously. Communication, I think, is just as important as any prescription. I actively stay updated with current medical guidelines and research, and I’ve been exploring areas of holistic care and preventive medicine too. The more we can do to catch problems early—or better yet, avoid them—the better the outcome for everyone. I’ve seen how small lifestyle changes, when supported properly, can make a big difference to long-term health. There’s still a lot to learn, of course. I think every good doctor keeps learning. But every patient I see teaches me something new, and I carry those lessons forward—with honesty, empathy, and the intent to keep improving.

Vaginal or pubic acne can be frustrating and uncomfortable, especially when they consist of white pus and are painful. They can be caused by blocked sweat glands, ingrown hairs, or irritation from shaving or other hair removal methods. A key first step is to ensure you maintain good hygiene in the area. Wash daily with mild, unscented soap and water. Pat the area dry gently to avoid exacerbating any irritation. Avoid using harsh products, including perfumes or scented lotions, which can further irritate the skin.

It’s essential to wear breathable, loose-fitting underwear made of natural fibers like cotton to reduce moisture and friction. When shaving, use a clean, sharp razor and consider using shaving cream to reduce skin irritation. If possible, avoid shaving for a while to see if that alleviates symptoms. Applying a warm compress to the affected area for about 10–15 minutes a few times daily can help soothe pain and promote healing by improving blood circulation.

Over-the-counter treatments like topical benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid can help but are usually best avoided in the immediate genital area due to sensitivity. For stubborn or recurrent cases, or if you’re noticing other symptoms like fever, you may need to see a healthcare provider. They might investigate other causes like bacterial or fungal infections, or even discuss safe antibiotics if necessary. Also, they would be able to rule out conditions like cysts or hidradenitis suppurativa, which can mimic symptoms of acne.

Finally, keep an eye on potential triggers that cause acne flare-ups, such as certain laundry detergents or tight clothing, minimizing them if noticed. If pain intensifies, or if new symptoms develop, such as rapid spreading, redness, or swelling, seeing a healthcare professional promptly would be wise to rule out infectious causes that might require medical intervention.
