Treating Pimples On The Buttocks

Posted: Aug 12, 2006 | Comments: 0 | Views: 3,282 | Bookmark and Share

One of the more embarrassing though very common places people can get pimples is on the buttocks, especially for men who tend to have more hair in that area and sweat more also. It is also a place where it is quite common for the pimples to persist far beyond puberty and well into adult life.

These pimples can be caused by a wide variety of reasons, from ingrown hairs to infected hair follicles but most commonly it is from sweat and bacteria on the skin causing both sebum blockage and inflammation. Often times the same treatments which work for your facial acne are not as effective in treating pimples on the buttocks or other forms of body acne. Moreover most facial acne treatments are only designed to be used on quite small surface areas such as spots around the face, rather than the buttocks or shoulders where it is also common for men to develop stubborn pimples. Or they are far too expensive and harsh on the skin such as retinoic acid, a prescription treatment for acne.

A good step toward clearing up pimples on the buttocks is to make sure the area stays clean and dry, but well moisturised at the same time. Over washing the skin can dry it out and leave it prone to more inflammation which will in turn cause more break outs. At the very least treatment of buttocks pimples should involve a good anti bacterial soap and a slightly acidic moisturiser.

There are also some companies developing treatments specifically aimed at treating acne which develops in places other than the face such as on the shoulders or back. When deciding on a treatment you should make sure that the product you buy has both anti bacterial and anti inflammatory agents as these are the prime causes of pimples on the buttocks and other such areas. Ideally the treatment would include an antibacterial wash, hopefully containing an anti inflammatory agent such as salicylic acid, and a good non pore clogging acidic moisturiser with anti bacterial properties to keep the skin moist yet free from blockages.

Other things which may help will be to make sure you drink 8 glasses of water a day to keep your skin hydrated and supple, and to avoid foods that seem to make your skin more prone to break outs such as most fast foods. Also make sure you clean your sheets regularly as the human body does tend to sweat a reasonable amount at night and this can contribute to the build up of oils and dirt which may lead to blockage of your pores. Also getting a healthy amount of sun can give your skin a far healthier appearance and help to clear up acne, though always remember to apply sun screen.

Up until recently there was not much available on the market for someone trying to treat acne on places such as the buttocks, and they had to make do with treatments made specifically for the face. The good news is that these days there are treatments available specifically aimed at treating acne on the less commonly thought about areas of the body, so you have a great chance of being able to clear up your body acne with little difficulty.
