Acne On Butt
Pimples On Butt

There are few things that are more embarrassing than butt acne. If you happen to have the "good fortune" of being in a public atmosphere like a school shower, you probably feel like the world is taking more than a gander. You feel desperate for resolution and hopeless of ever finding a way to get rid of butt pimples. Rest assured, like any acne problems it does require effort, energy, and an acne treatment regimen.

First of all, your sweet little buttocks does not contain as many sebaceous glands as other areas on your body. These glands are the oil-producing glands that serve as a foundation for acne to form. Therefore, many times what is coined as butt acne, in reality is actually skin infections and diseases.

With that being said, if you truly have butt acne, I'm sure that it is literally a major pain in the ole' butt!


TYPES OF ACNE ON BUTT

Butt acne can consist of blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, as well as cysts and nodules. In other words, what you find on your face and other parts of your body can also appear on the buttocks. This area is a breeding ground for collecting sweat and bacteria; add to that the collection of dead skin cells and you have the recipe for creating clogged pores. This will ultimately present itself in the form of butt acne.

If you are experiencing the painful cystic/nodular type of acne, you will probably need to see a dermatologist in order to obtain prescription-strength acne treatments and avoid scarring.


SOME OF THE CAUSES OF ACNE ON BUTT

Hormones - Puberty, pregnancy, and a monthly menstral cycle put hormones in an uproar, which in turn can trigger acne to develop.

Prolonged Sitting - Prolonged periods of sitting allow the opportunity for the buttocks to heat up. This stems from continuous pressure, which doesn't allow for any air to circulate. When this occurs you create a breeding ground for bacteria to flourish, which in turn opens the acne door. To rectify this problem, get up periodically and walk.

Synthetic Fabrics - If you tend to wear underwear that does not breath and is nonabsorbing, then you are courting for pimples on butt to form. This is an easy fix. Ladies wear cotton underwear and men wear boxers. In addition, know that tight-fitting jeans may exacerbate your problem. The more air that can freely circulate, which allows your skin to also breathe, the less likely you are to sweat.

Obesity - People who are substantially overweight, open the door for acne on buttocks to form as these individuals tend to generally lead a sedetary life. Once again, prolonged sitting coupled with the general heat that "lives" in the rears of larger individuals, makes for pimples on buttocks to form. Start walking to give your rear a fighting chance.

Laundry Products - You might be allergic to the harsh soaps, dyes and perfumes that are found in detergents, softeners, dryer sheets, etc. Switch to natural laundry products instead. Yes, they will cost more, but you are indeed worth it.

Stress - Stress is a trigger that can cause numerous health issues, among which is acne on butt. Obviously, eliminate the stress or at least try to reduce it to give your butt a fighting chance.

Start with a water-soluable cleanser that contains salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, which will be beneficial in sloughing off the dead skin cells, unclogging the pores, and reducing excess oil.

Using a loofah or exfoliating mitt to exfoliate the buttocks could prove to be beneficial. However, if your butt acne is severe with lots of pus-filled pimples, you will want to do so very carefully and perhaps not at all, to insure you do not injure yourself in the process. The goal is to remove the top layer of dead skin cells, not irritate and inflame the cheeks.

Follow with a cream or lotion that contains glycolic and/or salicylic acids. These ingredients will help prevent pores from clogging with dead skin cells, along with limiting the growth of acne-causing bacteria. All of this will assist in your endeavors to keep acne on butt at bay.
