Brief Answer:
A photo of pimples is needed...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.

The very first thing is to determine what is causing pimples around anal and vaginal area:
- warts?
- infected hair follicles?
- any other problem (fungus? parasites?)?

Can you please send a photo of the pimples you are having, so I can assist you further. Can you please also specify whether the pimples are aching? itching? or any other concern?

Tea tree oil is good antiseptic and antifungal cream. It can be use as a good antiseptic, but should determine the right cause first to see how I can help you to heal your pimples.

Looking forward to have the photo in!
Dr.Albana
