Hyperpigmentation on buttocks and butt acne are very familiar and somewhat embarrassing. Beach season is knocking on the door and the time is just right to do something about the problem.
If you want to avoid skin whitening chemicals and expensive cosmetics, you can try several straightforward and inexpensive home remedies. I have tried the majority of these products, and I can confirm that they have an all-natural skin lightening effect.
what causes or red bumps ?
All this time, pesky pimples and blackheads are one of the top lists from our pet peeves but then, these butt acne (aka buttne) occurred. Frustration is inevitable, sadly “buttne” is very much common and we’re anxious how to get rid of them.
Granted they’re out of sight from the world to see (unless you’re on a bikini), they are indeed irritating though you may endure full-on breakouts, or possibly just one or two red-bumps.
what causes hyperpigmentation on buttocks?
In a nutshell, there are a lot of factors that triggered butt acne or red bumps and these flare-ups possibly caused by poor hygiene, tight-fitting clothes, sweat, hormonal imbalance, and Folliculitis. But the good thing is, they can be easily avoided.
1 Tight Clothing – wearing tight clothes can trap sweat and bacteria in the skin, restricting it from getting any wiggle room to breath. This can result in inflammation of hair follicles that trigger red bumps or acne-like bumps (aka folliculitis) to erupt.
If you love wearing tight pants, make sure to get those pants off asap when you get home. Or swap your synthetic undies to cotton for a more breathable butt experience.
2 Poor Hygiene – Don’t overlook cleaning your backside when taking a shower daily. The build-up of grime, dead skin and grease is one major culprit of folliculitis that can cause hyperpigmentation on your butt.
how to avoid on buttocks and thighs
- Make it as a routine to use a gentle medicated body wash with salicylic acid to keep skin free from acne-causing bacteria.
- Stay away from scabrous or abrasive scrubs and loofahs as this can increase irritation on your backside which could leave lasting scars and hyperpigmentation (those pesky dark spots).
- Wear loose fitting, cotton underwear. Cotton prevents excess sweating since it does not absorb much heat.
- Avoid shaving the pubic area or using hair-removal lotions. Shaving damages the skin, causing scarring and darkening of the area. Hair-removal lotions have chemicals that can damage sensitive skin. Waxing to remove hair offers a better alternative and will not lead to discoloration.
- Use an unscented, non-acidic, mild soap for cleaning the area between the thighs.
- Eat a healthy diet that includes a variety of fruits and vegetables, wholegrain cereals, and lean meat. Avoid fatty foods to maintain good skin.
- Drink lots of water which can flush out toxins and keep the skin smooth and hydrated.
- Use sunblock with at least SPF 30 to prevent exposed skin from darkening.
