Butt Acne
Butt Acne
If you said you’d go to a doctor or dermatologist…that’s the right
idea. Dermatologists specialize in treating the skin, on any part of the
body. Without a complete examination, it is difficult to determine the
cause of these blemishes on the buttocks. Rather than purchasing creams,
soaps, or other fad treatments over the counter, it is best to get
advice from a physician who understands your symptoms.
While consulting a doctor or dermatologist is the best idea, there are
some things that you can do to keep skin healthy, on your butt or
elsewhere. An adverse reaction to soap, laundry detergent, or other
beauty products can cause considerable skin irritation. Any product with
unnecessary perfumes or scents could be the culprit. If you’ve recently
changed the products you use in your cleansing routines, you may want to
check the ingredient list and give this information to your doctor. That
sweet-smelling shower gel could be causing your butt acne.
Consider the fact that, most of the time, your buttocks
are covered by clothing that can cause perspiration. Sweat can also
cause pimples and other irritations, so make sure that you wash your
body with cool water and hypoallergenic soap following exercise. Wearing
absorbent material and natural fibers will help reduce the amount of
time that sweat irritates the body, and will clear up many cases of
butt acne. Also, make sure to remove your clothes and
shower immediately following exercise because longer exposures to sweat
and dirt cause a greater probability that pimples will occur. Butt acne
may also be caused by friction from ill-fitting underwear. Wearing a lot
of artificial fibers, like polyester or nylon, could also be the
problem.
Even when the blemishes are driving you crazy, try not to pop or squeeze
pimples, especially butt acne that is so often further irritated by
clothing. Also, try to make sure that any body creams or medications
used on butt acne are not oil-based and do not contain perfumes. Eating
a healthy diet and making sure to stay properly hydrated by drinking
plenty of water are also great ideas. Butt acne doesn’t
have to be a pain in the butt. Consulting with the physician and
exercising good common sense can make a big difference.
