Pimples can also form on the buttocks.

Several causes are possible.

The best way to get rid of them can be found here.

In order to get soft and smooth skin like a baby's bottom, many use various remedies.

There is cream, tapped, oiled or even lifted whatever it takes.

But it is obvious: Very few people can look forward to perfect skin.

Whether rough, itchy areas of skin in winter, razor bumps, so-called “strawberry legs” * or skin diseases such as psoriasis:

the dermatologist's practice is the right place to go

if you have skin

complaints

.

Pimples on the bottom can also be extremely annoying for those affected.

According to the women's magazine

Elle

, there is even an extra term for pimples:

buttne - an English combination of “butt” and “acne”, which translates as acne on

the bottom

.

According to the Heilpraxisnet portal, there are quite a few causes.

The following are mentioned, which can also lead to pimples on the bum in combination:

  • Hormonal influences

  • increased sebum production (seborrhea)

  • bacterial infections

  • Medication

  • sweaty environment under non-breathable clothing

  • mechanical friction (e.g. from underwear)

  • Synthetic underwear

  • Pants that are too tight or underwear that are too tight

  • Cosmetics to which the skin reacts with pimples

  • Shaving and waxing

Shaving and waxing as triggers for buttocks pimples

If there is a hormonal cause, it is often an excess of the male sex hormone testosterone, which stimulates sebum production. As a result, the sebum glands can become blocked, which promotes pimples. Dermatologist Dr. Alice Martin is also quoted by the Stylebook portal: “

If they appear on the buttocks, this is not called acne, but folliculitis

. This means pimples around the hair follicles, so-called folliculitides, ”says the dermatologist.

"The pimples on the bottom are also caused by shaving, which is often underestimated," says dermatologist Dr.

Alice Martin quoted from Portal Stylebook.

The hair roots would be irritated by the procedure and could become inflamed: “Such inflammations can occur even after waxing,” warns the dermatologist:

“To be honest, it would be best not to do anything and let the hair grow - even if that is the case many find it difficult. "

What to do against pimples on the buttocks?

In most cases, pimples on the back will go away on their own. As with other

parts of the

body, however, the motto is:

Don't push around on the pimple

! This not infrequently results in the area becoming inflamed, which lengthens the healing process. "If the pimples develop into large abscesses, the dermatologist should be consulted," advises dermatologist Martin. Pull ointments with oil shale could help because they have an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect.

According to Martin, regular peeling can be tried to prevent the buttocks pimples from occurring in the first place.

A

peeling

, for example consisting of a spoonful of sugar and two tablespoons of olive oil, can ensure that blocked sebum glands open and pimples do not develop in the first place, says Martin.
