4 Ways to Get Rid of Butt Acne

Acne has a way of popping up in the weirdest of places.

One of those places is the butt.

As strange as it might sound, many people have butt acne. I mean, acne on the bumbum.

And because it’s on the butt, most people do not speak up or try to get help.

First thing I want to emphasize is that butt acne is normal — just like having acne on your face. No big deal.

And yes, it can also be treated.

Together, we will explore everything you need to know about butt acne, from the causes down to the treatments.

Shall we get started?

What is butt acne?

Butt acne is really not acne.

Yes, it may look like acne, but it is not.

Butt acne is caused by folliculitis.

This means that your hair follicles become infected and get inflamed, which leads to the appearance of pus pimples and red bumps.

The hair follicles get affected because your bum is hairier than your face.

What causes butt acne?

One of the huge differences between butt acne and normal acne is that they have different factors that cause them.

Inflamed hair follicles are either caused by irritation or friction.

Butt acne usually occurs when your hair follicles are blocked, or bacterial infection occurs. But more often than not, it is caused by clogged hair follicles.

What can clog your hair follicles?

  1. Sitting too much

Too much of everything is bad.

When you sit for a long time, your butt is compressed to a spot for a long while. Your pores do not breathe.

And when you sweat, it doesn’t dry up quickly. This can lead to clogged hair follicles, which is bad news for your butt.

Sitting too much can also irritate your skin.

  1. Wearing old undergarments

Just because your undergarments still fit doesn’t mean that you should wear them forever.

Some people wear them until they are torn and old. That should not be so. Buy new pairs of underwear regularly.

Also, do not wear undergarments twice before washing.

This brings sweat, dirt, and oil very close to your skin, which can clog your hair follicles or irritate them.

  1. Keeping wet and sweaty clothes on

Some of us keep sweaty clothes on after a long day under the sun or after a visit to the gym.

Your sweat can dry over your pores, which, in turn, can make bumps begin to form. Also, wet clothes continually rubbing against your skin can cause friction. It can also irritate your skin.

At the end of the day, your skin begins to react, and pimples start to form.

  1. Putting on tight-fitting clothes

Most of us like tight leggings, because they bring out our shape and make us look sexy. Well, they also can be the reason why you are having breakouts on your butt.

Clothes that are tight-fitted cause friction against your skin and trap sweat oil against your butt area.

This makes it easier for your hair follicles to get blocked. And the result is bumps on your butt.

How can I treat butt acne?

Now that you know what causes butt acne, you can now treat, but more importantly, you can also prevent it from even happening in the first place.

  1. Let your doctor examine you

I know you might not agree with this.

Who wants to display something so embarrassing for others to see? I get it, but before you say no, remember, you do not have a proper view of your butt area.

So how then can you treat what you can’t even see?

Your doctor can examine it and prescribe treatments for you.

Even if you hold off on seeing your doctor, if you can’t get it in control after a month, please see a doctor.

  1. Do not scrub your butt

For some reason, some people think that if they can scrub acne, it will disappear.

It doesn’t work that way. This will only worsen the acne. It will irritate your already-inflamed follicles, thereby making the butt acne worse.

This does not mean that you should not exfoliate. Just make sure that you exfoliate gently with a soft cloth.

Do not use loofahs, or stiff bristled brushes or any other abrasive product.

However, if the acne is painful, do not bother exfoliating at all.

  1. Use a body wash containing benzoyl peroxide

The good news is, though facial acne and butt acne are different; many of the treatments used to treat facial acne also work for butt acne.

If you have mild butt acne, then you can use a body wash with benzoyl peroxide.

What benzoyl peroxide does is, it clears out your pores to reduce blemishes. It has anti-inflammatory properties which reduce the lumps, especially if it is caused by inflamed hair follicles.

You can get a body wash with about 10 percent benzoyl peroxide. It needs to contain only a small quantity of benzoyl peroxide.

  1. Stay away from factors that cause butt acne

Earlier, I explained the various factors that can clog your follicles and cause acne on your butt.

Try to stay away from those factors.

Do not sit for too long. If you must, take a break at intervals to exercise your legs.

Also, do away with old undergarments and do not wear your underwear more than once before washing.

No tight-fitted clothed. Say bye to legging or tight fitted trousers and skirt.

As soon as you get home, remove sweaty or sticky clothes.

If you do all these, you will realize that acne will heal faster.

Speaking about treatment for acne…
If you want a natural anti-inflammatory skincare product (suitable for all skin types) that will not only relieve the pain of the lumps but gradually clear them off, your answer is the BeauCrest African black soap.

If you follow all these tips, your butt acne will be healed in no time.

Now over to you.
