Bothersome βbuttneβ: How to best prevent butt acne breakouts
Believe it or not, it is very possible for oneβs fashion choices to be the primary culprit of butt acne. While leggings are often the perfect pair of comfortable pants for working out or running errands, the tight-fitting fabric can cause friction against the skin, leading to irritation. When sweat and friction combine, the environment is right for developing skin conditions like folliculitis and butt acne.
To best prevent acne breakouts and folliculitis from forming on the buttocks, opt for clothing that is loose-fitting and breathable as opposed to tight-fitting clothing. Clothes made from cotton are generally more breathable than other fabrics and are a good choice for those looking to prevent buttne. Wash clothes, towels, and sheets regularly, as bacteria can be transferred to your skin as well.
Additionally, be sure to shower regularly, especially after a workout session! Allowing sweat, dirt, and bacteria to stay on your skin after exercising is a recipe for developing buttne and folliculitis. If you suffer from frequent butt acne breakouts or are looking to prevent them altogether, then always promptly rinse off after sweating. Throw your workout clothes in the laundry after you exercise, too!
Another helpful way to prevent the formation of butt acne and folliculitis is by routinely using a gentle exfoliating lotion or body wash. Skincare products containing ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids can help prevent and combat any flareups of acne on the buttocks. Using a loofah in the shower can also help to remove the buildup of dead skin cells and debris that may be clogging the pores and contributing to butt acne. Be sure, however, to use gentle exfoliating skincare products and avoid over-scrubbing. Over exfoliating can actually exacerbate skin irritation and lead to worsening the butt acne breakout. When in doubt, schedule a consultation with a skincare and butt acne breakout expert, such as internationally renowned board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green in NYC. Dr. Green will work with you to customize your butt acne treatment plan so that it is perfectly catered to your unique needs and goals.
How to get rid of dark spots from butt acne breakouts
Butt acne can be a pain, and it can be even more frustrating when butt pimples leave behind dark spots. These little dark marks are associated with a skin condition called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and can occur after an outbreak of acne, folliculitis, or other inflammatory injury or skin irritation. Sometimes, the appearance of dark spots on the skin may resolve independently, though this may take a considerable amount of time. Other dark marks may require professional treatment to completely disappear. In any case, meeting with a board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Green is the best way to effectively and swiftly minimize the appearance of dark marks on the buttocks left by acne breakouts or folliculitis.
Why are there dark marks where there used to be acne in the first place? Dark spots typically develop when inflammation and skin irritation associated with acne lesions triggers the overproduction of melanin in a cluster of surrounding cells. The underlying reason for the production of excess melanin following inflammation is still unknown. However, once there are dark spots on the skin where acne lesions once were, UV rays from the sun can exacerbate their appearance and make them more difficult to remove. Dark acne spots may also be caused or worsened by attempting to pop a pimple. This is why it is so important to refrain from picking any acne! Instead of trying to perform your own extractions at home, schedule a consultation with Dr. Green. Dr. Green will help you develop a personalized acne treatment plan to eliminate your breakouts and diminish the appearance of any residual acne scars, providing you with clear, smooth, beautiful skin.
