Causes for Pimples on Butt

Any type of pimple that occurs on your face can also develop on your buttocks. So it is possible to get cysts, nodules, pustules and papules on your butt. Even the skin on your buttocks has sebaceous glands, also known as oil glands. When these glands produce too much oil and the dead skin cells do not slough off from the skin, the glands get blocked. These blocked glands get invaded by bacteria, resulting in pimples on butt. You can even get pimples on your buttocks due to allergies, not maintaining proper hygiene or wearing ill-fitting clothes.

 

Simple Treatment for Pimples on Butt

If you have pimples on butt, there are few measures that you can take on a daily basis to reduce the inflammation and pain, and also eliminate the pimples.

 

Wash your buttocks twice a day using a mild moisturizing soap. This will help to remove the excess oil produced by the sebaceous glands and also get rid of some of dead skin cells. The mild soap will not dry or irritate your skin. Refrain from popping the pimples on butt, as they could get secondary infection or spread the bacteria within the pimple to unaffected parts of your buttocks.

 

Apply ice cubes wrapped in a clean, soft cloth on the pimples twice a day. Hold the ice on the pimples on butt for 5 minutes. The ice cubes reduce the flow of blood to pimples and thereby helping to reduce the inflammation and redness.

 

If you are sweating, take a shower or change your undergarments to prevent bacteria from proliferating. This will stop new pimples from developing. Avoid wearing synthetic fabric. Instead opt for loose fighting cotton clothes that have the ability to absorb sweat.

 

Lemon juice is a natural anti-bacterial agent and has the ability to destroy bacteria on the skin. If you are suffering from mild outbreak of pimples on butt, apply fresh lemon juice on the pimples. Allow the juice to stay for around 10 minutes before rinsing it off thoroughly. The juice will kill the bacteria and help to reduce the inflammation. It will also help to reduce scarring from older pimples, as lemon juice is also a natural bleaching agent.

 

Take fresh aloe vera leaf and drain out the yellow colored juice from it. This will allow you to get to gel that is present in the leaf. Rinse your buttocks and apply the gel directly on the pimples on butt. Aloe vera gel has antibiotic properties and helps to destroy bacteria present on the skin.

 

When to Visit a Doctor?

If the pimples on butt are cystic or nodular pimples, you should visit a dermatologist to get prescription acne cream to treat the pimples. In case of severe outbreak of pimples, the regular OTC acne creams and home remedies will not help.

Cystic pimples develop when a sebaceous gland in the skin gets blocked and infected with bacteria, resulting in white blood cells rushing to the spot to destroy the bacteria. The cysts that form are painful, filled with pus and swollen. They can be difficult to treat, and if the condition is serious, it may require proper treatment from a dermatologist. However, you can use home remedies to reduce the inflammation, redness and pain that occur due to cystic pimples.

 

Baking Soda

Baking soda is a natural exfoliant that removes dead skin cells that are responsible for blocking pore and sebaceous glands. Mix 2 teaspoons of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of sea salt and water to make a paste. Apply the paste directly onto the cysts and use gentle circular motions to remove dead skin cells. Rinse your face thoroughly with cold water. The baking soda will not just remove the dead skin cells, it will also get rid of excessive oil, thus making your skin feel soft and smooth. When coupled with sea salt, the baking soda helps to reduce inflammation that comes with cystic pimples.

 

Raw Honey

Honey has been used for centuries for soothe superficial wounds and cuts in Eastern culture. Raw honey is a potent antioxidant, cleansing agent and antiseptic. It has the ability to heal bacterial and fungal infections when used topically. Raw honey and aspirin can be used to treat the inflammation caused due to cystic pimples. Crush one aspirin and mix raw honey to form a paste. Apply on the face and rub gently for around 2 minutes. Wash your face with cold water. Use a soft towel to pat dry your face. Then apply raw honey on the pimples. Let the honey stay for around 20 minutes, before washing it off with warm water. Give your face a last rinse with cold water to close the pores that may have opened up with the warm water. The honey and aspirin work as exfoliants that slough off the dead skin cells. The honey on its own helps to kill the bacteria in the pores, thereby reducing the pimples.

 

Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

Many people find drinking organic apple cider vinegar as an effect home remedy to cure cystic pimples. Organic apple cider vinegar contains malic acid, which has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties. The malic acid helps to eliminate bacteria that attack the pores leading to pus-filled boils. However, it is imperative that you use the vinegar with sediments, as the clear variety does not contain malic acid. Drink some organic apple cider vinegar before retiring to bed and continue the treatment until you notice a difference in your skin condition.

 

Tea Tree Oil

Native Australians have been using tea tree oil for centuries. According to clinical studies, tea tree oil has the same benefits as benzoyl peroxide, which a common ingredient in pimple treatments. However, since tea tree oil is natural, it has fewer side effects compared to commercial available pimple treatment products. Diluting tea tree oil and applying it directly on the cystic pimples twice a day can help reduce the infection and inflammation. The oil is meant just for topical use and should not be ingested.

 

Foods That Are Bad For Pimples

Published on February 20, 2012 in Articles. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , .

 

A good skin is the result of a healthy and nutritious diet.  So it will be understandable  that if one indulges in certain types of foods that can aggravate the skin, not only will the skin look dull and  lifeless, it will also break out in pimples or acne.  This is a condition that no one wants to have, so if one is serious about avoiding an acne condition, one should be willing to give up eating those foods which bring about the condition – however difficult it might be to do so.

 

Of course, even before tackling the food selection, it should be kept in mind that cleansing of the skin is the base of a clear, glowing complexion.  So good care should be taken to remove all traces of makeup, grime, etc., that settle on the skin.  Once the skin is kept clean and clear, certain foods need to be avoided as they have the potential to cause skin eruptions.

 

The skin responds to an over-rich iodine diet, in that it suffers an attack of acne.  Shrimp, oysters, lobster, crab – are iodine rich foods.  Vegetables like kelp, nori, and dulse fall in the iodine-rich category.  As also spinach.

 

Another cause of an acne breakout, are trans-fats, according to a recent study.  Foods like sugar-glazed doughnuts, chocolate cookies with a cream layer, deep-fried potato chips, are some of the foods that fall in the trans-fats category.

 

Foods like ham, bacon, and other fast food varieties, which are very rich in fatty acids, work in the body to produce hormones, which can lead to redness, irritation and inflammation.  Cakes, French fries, muffins, cookies, high in glycemic content, are known to be a cause of acne aggravation.

 

Animal proteins are highly acidifying, and an acid environment in the body encourages growth of acne-resulting bacteria.  Excess acidity throws the body off balance.  Meat also contains sodium nitrite and large amounts of sulphur. In the body, sulphur is turned into hydrogen sulphide, phenols, ammonia and a few other chemicals, that can cause damage to the gut lining.  So excess eating of any meats should be avoided, but if one wants to indulge, organic meat could be the answer.

 

Though all the abovementioned foods may not actually ‘cause’ acne or pimples, they have the propensity to aggravate the condition, hence should be cut out completely, or eaten in great moderation.

 

Even after avoiding foods that are bad for the skin, one would wonder how long before the actual attack of pimples would actually disappear.  It’s a question that has no specific answer.  Continued good care of the skin, coupled with avoiding acne-inducing foods, and eating foods that are good for the skin, will provide the solution, sooner rather than later.

 

Helpful lists of foods one can, or should, avoid eating, are:

 

Spicy foods – Food like French fries and chips – pizza – Colas and dark coloured drinks – nuts – chocolates – some dairy products – food with less sugar content – food with less oily content.

How to Get Rid Of Pimples

Anyone sporting pimples, male or female, will lament the condition, and do their best to get rid of the same.  The main areas in the body that suffer from a pimple attack, are the face, neck, shoulders, chest, and back.  What causes pimples ?  The main cause of pimples, is when oil and dead skin cells block the pores in the skin.  So, by and large, by keeping the skin scrupulously clean, pimples should not occur. Some cosmetic products used on the face, can also clog the facial pores.  These products are known as comedogenic products, and care should be taken when purchasing such cosmetics, that they are not comedogenic.  Stress is another factor that can cause pimples.

 

Healthy living is one very good way to avoid getting pimples.  A healthy diet, not eating too oily foods, consuming fresh vegetables and fruit, is ideal for a healthy skin.  Drinking plenty of water, getting enough hours of sleep.  Also a regular exercise routine which burns up fat, and gets the body machinery running well.

 

Once pimples appear on the body, especially the face, it becomes important to remove them, as they prove an unsightly appearance.  If the pimples are allowed to grow and erupt, they can prove painful, and lead to infection.

 

When trying to ‘remove’ a pimple, it is important not to squeeze or prick the eruption.  By doing this the area around the pimple becomes inflamed, and the germs that caused the pimple, could spread to other areas on the face.  This action could also lead to scarring.  If such a condition does arise, applying an ice pack against the affected area would ease the swelling, and the inflammation will go down.  Use of a cosmetic ‘concealer’ will help to camouflage the ugly patch on the face, caused by the pimple.

 

If one is prone to getting pimples on a regular basis, a mild soap should be used to clean the skin at least 3 times a day, especially early morning and before sleeping.  If a cosmetic cleanser is used, it should be applied gently, so as not to drain the skin of its natural oil base.  After the skin is cleaned as above, a medicated cream or ointment should be applied on the pimple area in moderation, as such creams tend to dry up the skin.  If facial makeup is used regularly, purchase oil-free products – as this will ensure that the pores do not get blocked, and cause pimples.  Removing all makeup at night before sleeping, is a MUST.  A visit to the dermatologist to get professional advice/medication is advised, if one suffers from a regular outbreak of pimples.

 

If one would is keen on treating the pimples at home, some useful tips are:

 

The scars caused by pimples, can be erased by rubbing garlic on the area, a few times a day.  However, this procedure should be carried out gently, so as not to break the skin.

 

A paste composed of orange and lemon peels can be applied on the pimple-affected area.  Honey and gram flour also act as great cleansers.

 

Cucumber grated and used on the face, 10-15 minutes before washing, could help in preventing pimples from forming, the procedure also avoids the skin getting dry.  It also helps if one has been squeezing the pimples, as the cucumber mixture keeps the skin well moisturized.

 

Another tried and tested home remedy is a teaspoon of honey mixed with a half teaspoon of tomato juice and camphor lotion.  By applying this concoction on the face and washing it off after fifteen minutes or so, the scars and marks left by pimples slowly disappear.

Pimples, and their causes, are many.  However, they are most ‘embarrassing’ when they appear on the face, as not only is the face the ‘mirror’ of the body, the skin in this area is also delicate and needs to be treated with care.

 

So, what causes pimples?  Basically it is a question of skin cleaning, not letting the pores get blocked with oil, dirt, etc.  Excess oil, either being excreted by the skin, or being applied externally through the use of cosmetics, creams, etc., tend to gather in the pores, and block them up, preventing them from breathing freely.  This results in black heads and white heads.    Stress is another factor that leads to eruption of pimples on the body.

 

To ensure that pimples have little or no reason to crop up on any part of the body, healthy living, in the form of a balanced diet, enough sleep, and exercise, would be a good routine to follow.  Fresh fruit and vegetables, are great for a glowing, pimple-free skin.  Oily foods and meals containing heavy protein, eaten on a regular basis, should be cut off.

 

When a pimple attack does surface, one important point to remember, is not to squeeze or prick the pimple.  Such squeezing and pricking action tend to inflame the area around the pimple, and the bacteria that is the cause of the pimple, can spread to other areas of the face.  Squeezing and pricking, can also leave marks, which would be difficult to get rid of.

 

What helps in keeping the skin clean through the day, would be the use of a mild detergent.  There are many such Face Wash detergents made by reputed companies, presently being sold on the market.  Using such mild detergents 2-3 times a day on the face, would ensure the skin is kept fresh and clean.  In case other cosmetic products like cream, lotions, etc. are used to clean the face, they should be applied gently, so as not to remove the natural oils in the skin.  If cosmetic makup is used regularly/daily on the face, cleaning of the skin before sleeping is extremely important.  By  following this regime, the skin can breathe freely during sleeping hours – otherwise clogging will occur.

 

Some home remedies to follow for the care of the skin and removal of pimples, would be by rubbing  garlic on the pimple affected area, a few times during the day.  This helps to erase the scars, over  time.  An orange and lemon peel paste would also  help to heal pimple affected areas.  A combination of honey and gramflour act as great cleansers. To prevent pimples from forming, grated cucumber can be applied about 15 minutes before washing the face.  This exercise prevents the skin from getting dry.  Another popular remedy to remove pimple scars, is honey mixed with tomato juice, and camphor lotion.  The said solution should be kept for about 15 minutes on the face, and then washed off.  It is a tried and tested way to erase scars caused by pimples.

Home Remedies for Pimple

A glowing, pimple-free skin is a major asset.  It can even triumph over ‘beauty’.  But this glowing condition is not always easy to obtain, as there are several internal and external factors that come into play.

 

One of the biggest factors that lead to a pimple problem, is skin clogging.  Sweat, grime, excess oil secretion, use of cosmetics, etc. all have an impact.  Most people suffer from facial pimples, though pimples also break out on other areas of the body, like the shoulders, neck, back, and chest.  But the main attack is facial pimples, and as it is said somewhere  – “your face is your fortune” – great attention is now paid to keeping the face clear of pimples, and an effort to sport a healthy glowing complexion.

 

The basic rules to obtaining a healthy, glowing appearance, would be eating a proper diet – fresh vegetables and fruit, non-oily food, and drinking plenty of water.  Since stress is also a factor that can cause pimples, try and clear one’s mind at night, and get a sound sleep and rest.  Exercise is another activity that keeps the body ticking in good order.

 

If pimples do crop up, without doubt, every effort will be made to remove them.  One has to take care that no forceful methods like squeezing or pricking are used to remove the pimples.  Such methods can become messy, inflaming the pimple area, and spreading bacteria.  Forceful intrusions on the skin, can also leave scars.  If this happens, use of an ice pack on the inflamed area will ease any swelling.  To cover up this problem, if one needs to mix socially, cosmetic concealers are available on the market.  These concealers if smeared gently on the affected area will temporarily camouflage the redness/swelling.

 

The best way to avoid getting pimples is to keep one’s skin scrupulously clean.  Washing the face 3-4 times a day with a mild soap, will help.  The cosmetic manufacturers have come up with an ideal solution, by introducing a product called Face Wash – applied gently on the face at the end of the day; it cleans every pore, and leaves the skin fresh and clean.  Using Face Wash becomes imperative if one has applied heavy makeup, as it cleans the skin thoroughly and leaves the pores open to breathe freely during the night.

 

On the home front, some tried and tested recipes for keeping the skin clean and free of pimples and scars, can be used.

 

To clean the skin, a honey and gram flour mix is ideal.  Also cucumber grated and applied 10-15 minutes before washing.  This helps to prevent pimples from breaking out, and also keeps the skin moist.

 

On an outbreak of pimples, a paste of lemon peels and orange can be made, and applied – controlling the rash.  For scars left behind, after the pimples disappear, garlic can be rubbed a few times during the day, to lighten them.  However, care should be taken when doing this, so as not to break the skin.  A teaspoon of honey, half a teaspoon of tomato juice and camphor lotion, is also a great paste mix for lessening scar appearance.  Applied on the face and left for 15 minutes, before washing, ensures gradual disappearance of the scars.
