Unfortunately, pimples are not just limited to the face. Many people have pimples on different parts of their body over the course of their lives. Whether pimples on the back or pimples on the scalp - pus pimples are usually particularly painful in places where you can't see them. The most unpleasant is the pimple on the bottom. We explain how they develop and what you can do about them. 

Why pimples appear on the bottom - and how you can avoid them

Pimples on the bottom are less visible than pimples to face, but can still be unpleasant. The best way to treat pimples on the bottom is to prevent them. To do this, it is important to know how they develop.

These are the most common causes of spots on the bottom:

  • Hormonal changes: Hormones play a decisive role in the development of spots. Hormonal fluctuations during puberty, menstruation, the use of hormonal contraceptives or pregnancy can lead to an excessive production of sebum.

  • Clogged pores: Dead skin cells, sweat or sebum can clog hair follicles. This in turn favors the accumulation of bacteria that cause inflammation.

  • Insufficient hygiene: Insufficient cleanser can lead to the accumulation of dirt, sweat and bacteria. Especially after sport and on hot days, it is important to clean this sensitive area of the body Cleanse to prevent skin impurities.

  • The wrong clothing: Tight, synthetic clothing irritates the skin on the bottom and impairs ventilation. Excessive sweating and friction increase the risk of spots on the bottom.

  • Allergies and skin sensitivities: Certain detergents, fabric softeners or care products can cause allergic reactions. Food or comedogenic ingredients can also cause skin reactions such as spots under the skin.

  • Stress: Stress increases the production of stress hormones, which activate the sebaceous glands and lead to an increased likelihood of skin blemishes.

If you know the most common causes of spots on your bottom, you can take simple measures to prevent them yourself.

  1. A washcloth and warm water or pH-neutral soap are sufficient for a thorough, daily cleanser wash of the bottom.

  2. A BHA peeling helps to effectively remove dead skin cells.
  3. Loose, breathable underwear and pants made from natural materials such as cotton promote air circulation and reduce the risk of excessive sweating.

  4. After sport and on hot days, underwear should still be changed more than once a day.

Otherwise, healthy skin needs nothing more than natural cleanser and plenty of relaxation. This is because stress and an unhealthy lifestyle encourage spots on the bottom. 

Not all pimples are the same: differences between abscesses and boils on the bottom

Pimples are a widespread skin problem that can occur in various forms. Particularly in the intimate area, such as the buttocks, various types of skin blemishes can occur, including

  • Pimples,
  • Abscesses

Pimples:

Formed by clogged pores caused by excess sebum, dead skin cells and bacteria. They range from open and closed comedones to inflammatory acne.

Underground pimples manifest themselves as red or inflamed bumps that are sometimes filled with pus. The painful inflammations occur not only to face, but also as pimples on the back or pimples on the bottom.

A cyst is an encapsulated pimple in which dead skin cells and sebum are trapped in a hollow structure. The firm, often immobile lumps can be very painful. Pimples on the buttocks are easy to treat yourself with appropriate creams and care.

Boils: 

Boils develop on the bottom due to inflammation of a hair follicle, often caused by bacteria. These red, pus-filled bumps are particularly common on very hairy areas of the body and cause extreme pain when pressure is applied. Heat and appropriate care products can help to relieve and heal them.

The pus-filled bumps are caused by bacterial infections. An abscess on the bottom manifests itself as a swollen red bump, often with a blue or yellow dot in the middle.
