Manifestations, complaints and complications

Pimples on the buttocks appear in different forms. For example, there may be a delineated area with many tiny pimples that feel rough and dry when touched. If there are sudden itching wheals, it is probably an allergic reaction. Purulent pimples, which are more likely to sit on the surface, often disturb or cause pain and are expressed inappropriately. This can lead to worse inflammation and ultimately to ugly scars. Encapsulated nodes that are deeper under the skin may be filled with pus (abscesses).

Causes of pimples on the butt

Why do pimples form on the buttocks, what causes are possible? There are several factors that lead to pimples when isolated or combined.

Hormonal influences and increased talc production

Pimples, pimples, and other skin blemishes are often associated with hormonal changes such as puberty. However, other hormone metabolism disorders associated with increased androgen levels often lead to blemishes and pimples. There is a constriction of the sebaceous glands exits due to excessive sebum production in the affected skin region which provides a good breeding ground for bacteria (e.g., Propionibacterium acnes).

An allergic rash on the buttocks can be provoked by a variety of substances, such as detergents, shower gels, or body creams, whether they are synthetic or herbal.

Diet and lifestyle

While smoking is one of the commonly accepted factors that cause or increase pimples, conventional nutrition is not associated with the formation of pimples or acne. Naturopathic in addition to a lack of excretion of metabolic products from the body and a certain diet (for example, mainly pork, eggs, dairy products), constipation, food intolerances and disorders of the intestinal flora are made responsible for the emergence. Other digestive disorders (dyspepsia), malnutrition (e.g., underweight) and infections are also discussed as causes.

The treatment requires patience and restraint in terms of expressing and squeezing the pimples. If possible, the pants should not be too tight and pants should be made of materials that will not chafe and increase perspiration. Towels should only be used once, especially in the case of pus.
