5 Reasons You’re Getting Pimples on your Butt

Butt acne is a pain in the arse – literally. Just when you think pimples only appear on your face, you find them popping up on your buttocks. However, these pimples seem to be significantly more painful than the ones you’re used to, which can cause you to become quite concerned. But don’t worry. Butt acne isn’t really acne, according to most dermatologists. So, chances are you have nothing to worry about. You just need to discover what’s causing the blemishes on your rear so you can use the proper butt acne treatment to get rid of them.

Five reasons you have butt acne 

1. Dry skin can cause butt acne

You likely have never thought about dry skin appearing on your buttocks but it happens, and this could be the culprit causing all the problems. Since the skin on your bum is significantly more sensitive than the others due to the lack of moisturizing, pores can easily get clogged with dry skin particles. With the addition of always having clothing covering your butt, the clogged pores get irritated and alas, butt acne has claimed their territory.

2. Tight clothes are trapping in bacteria

Tight clothes can be hard to steer clear of because they’re the current fashion trend. However, they are different types of tight clothing that traps in more

bacteria than others, such as leggings and yoga pants. Unfortunately, these also happen to be the trendiest of trends so you don’t want to eliminate them from your wardrobe – and you don’t have to. Instead, place importance on the quality of yoga pants and leggings you choose, and regularly use butt acne clearing lotion to battle the blemishes on your booty.

3. A sweaty rear is a party for pimples

The more you sweat, the more likely blemishes on the buttare to appear. Unfortunately, you can’t always control your sweat. It’s not like you have deodorant for your booty. However, there are some things you can do to deter butt acne on the sweatiest of days.

For starters, stay away from non-breathing fabrics when the weather is scorching or when you’re working out. This will only further trap in the sweat and bacteria, causing butt pimples to appear. Once your sweat session is done, whether post-workout or at the end of the day, shower with a butt acne clearing lotion.

4. Sitting too long can cause an increase in blemishes on your butt

If you’ve been looking for a reason to be more active during the day, you’ve found it. Sitting for long periods can cause sweat and bacteria to build up, and hair follicles to become infected and inflamed, which results in blemishes on the butt. So, try to get in the habit of standing when you can, getting up from your desk more often, and getting active instead of binge-watching the latest show on Netflix. It’ll help your butt in more ways than one.

5. Hormones can be horrible for butt acne

Oh, hormones. If they aren’t messing with your mood they’re messing with your buttocks. Unfortunately, you can’t always control the hormones being released within your body. However, you can control the effects of hormones by incorporating butt acne cleansers into your daily regime.

Butt acne may not seem like a big deal because they aren’t on display for the entire world to see. However, bum pimples can affect your self-confidence and even quality of life, as it can be difficult to do the simplest of things, such as sitting down. So, take proper action and battle the butt acne before it appears. Use Butt Acne Clearing Lotionto combat all the blemishes on your butt.

What’s That Bump?!

Bumps on your genital area are common.

Everyone gets lumps and bumps on their genitals from time to time. Bumps can appear on and around your penis, anus, vagina, labia, and butt cheeks. Or you might feel a tender lump right underneath your skin, which you can’t see. 

First of all, don’t panic. Your skin is sensitive down there, and it’s common to have bumps on or around your genitals. And many bumps go away on their own. While we can’t diagnose you over the internet, a doctor or nurse can help you figure out what’s going on. 

There are many reasons why bumps, rashes, and lumps may show up on and around your genitals. Here are some different types of genital bumps:

Skin Irritation

The skin around your genitals is just that — skin. So regular skin stuff can happen. If your skin condition doesn’t clear up or gets worse, see a doctor or nurse — like the staff at your nearest Planned Parenthood health center — to see what’s going on and how to treat it. 

Ingrown hairs: Ingrown hairs are really common for people who shave or wax their pubic hair. They may look like a pimple (a raised bump that may appear reddish in color). Sometimes you can see the hair trapped just underneath the bump. Usually ingrown hairs go away on their own, but if not you can see a doctor or nurse to get it treated. 

Rashes from allergies: Skin can sometimes react to perfumes or dyes in soap or laundry detergent. Allergic reactions can cause bumps or rashes and make your skin feel itchy and dry. Switching to milder products (free of dyes or perfumes) may help make your rash or bumps go away. 

Pimples: Pimples, like the ones you get on your face, can appear anywhere on your body, which means sometimes they pop up on the skin of your genitals. If you notice that the pimple-like bumps around your genitals start getting worse or have pus coming out of them, or if they become painful, see a doctor or nurse — this might be a sign of an infection.

Cysts: Cysts are soft, painless lumps that can show up around the opening of your vagina and on your labia. A common vaginal cyst that appears on each side of the opening to your vagina is called the Bartholin’s cyst. The Bartholin’s glands provide lubrication (wetness) to the vagina, like during sexual excitement (when you’re aroused or turned on). Cysts in the Bartholin’s glands can happen when the opening gets blocked and fluid builds up just under the skin. Generally, cysts are nothing to worry about, especially if they aren’t painful. You can try sitting in a warm, shallow bath or using a warm compress or water pack several times a day until your cyst goes away or drains on its own. But don’t try to burst a cyst on your own, because that can lead to an infection. See a nurse or doctor if the cyst becomes enlarged or too tender to walk or sit comfortably.   

Sexually Transmitted Infections

STDs can cause serious health issues if they’re not treated. If you think the bump you have might mean that you have an STD, see your doctor or nurse  — like the staff at your nearest Planned Parenthood health center —as soon as possible. And use condoms and dental dams or avoid having sex until you figure out what’s going on with your bump.

Here are a few STDs that can cause lumps or bumps in your genital area:

Genital herpes: Herpes is a common STI, which can cause blistery, red sores on your vulva or penis that sometimes bleed or leak a white or clear liquid. Herpes sores can sometimes be painful, but other times you may not notice them. There is no known cure for herpes, but treatment can help you manage the symptoms.

Genital warts: Genital warts are caused by an STD called HPV. They’re flesh-colored, soft-to-the-touch bumps on the skin of your genitals that may remind you of cauliflower. Warts tend to cluster in one spot, and while they usually don’t hurt, sometimes they can be itchy. Warts can sometimes go away on their own, but can also be removed by a doctor or nurse. 

Scabies: Scabies are an STI that cause super-itchy pimple-like bumps, tiny blisters, or scales on your genitals and other places on your body. You may also see small, raised, crooked lines on your skin. These rashes tend to show up on the webbing between your fingers, where your wrist, elbow, or knee bends, pubic areas, breasts, belly button, penis, thighs and the lower part of your butt, shoulder blades, and/or around your waist. The only way to get rid of scabies is to get treated. You can get prescription creams from a doctor or nurse to clear up scabies.

Molluscum contagiosum: This STD can show up as small, firm bumps.You’ll usually have one or more hard, round growths near your genitals or on your thighs, arms, torso, neck, or face. They can be as small as the head of a pin or as large as a pencil eraser. They appear alone or in groups. The bumps are usually flesh-colored, pink, or white, and they often have a tiny dent or dimple in the middle. They usually don’t hurt, but they may be itchy, sore, swollen, or red. Molluscum contagiosum goes away on its own within six months to a year, but can last up to four years.

The most common symptom of an STD is no symptom at all, so the only way to know for sure if you have an STD is to get tested. So the best thing to do if you have a lump or bump that won’t go away is to make an appointment with a doctor or nurse. Your nearest Planned Parenthood health center can help diagnose and treat your genital skin issue, no matter what it is.

IMPORTANT!

The information in this section should not be used for self-diagnosis or self-treatment. In case of pain or other exacerbation of the disease, only the attending physician should prescribe diagnostic tests. For diagnosis and proper treatment, you should contact your doctor.

Lipoma: causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment.

Definition

Lipoma is a common tumor composed of fat cells (adipocytes) and is usually separated from surrounding tissues by a thin connective tissue capsule. Lipomas can form anywhere where fat cells are present, usually located subcutaneously, but are sometimes found on internal organs (for example, in the stomach, esophagus or intestines, bronchi, heart, or muscles).

Lipomas are benign neoplasms that do not tend to become malignant and do not cause discomfort to patients. The exception is those cases when lipomas are unsuccessfully located (for example, in the joint area) or grow rapidly, which happens extremely rarely.

Lipomas are the most common mesenchymal tumors (mesenchymal tumors are soft tissue tumors and specific bone tumors). The incidence is about 2.1 per 1000 people per year, and men are diagnosed slightly more often than women.

Causes of lipomas

The exact causes of lipomas are unknown. Some researchers agree that genetic anomalies play a role in their formation. Another theory suggests a link between the occurrence of a lipoma and previous trauma. Risk factors for the development of lipomas can be obesity, alcohol abuse, liver disease, impaired glucose tolerance, hyperlipidemia. The appearance of a lipoma may be the result of another disease, for example, familial multiple lipomatosis.

Disease classification

Lipomas can be simple or multiple (multiple lipomatosis). The latter include Derkum’s disease, benign symmetrical lipomatosis (Madelung’s disease), familial lipomatosis, congenital infiltrating lipomatosis. Multiple lipomatosis accounts for approximately 5-10% of all detected cases of lipomas.

Depending on which tissue components are involved in the pathological process, fibrolipomas (with connective tissue elements), myolipomas (they contain muscle fibers), angiolipomas (include blood vessels), myxolipomas (contain mucous tissue), myelolipomas (contain hematopoietic tissues ).

Symptoms of lipoma

Lipomas in the subcutaneous adipose tissue feel soft and mobile, not soldered to the surrounding tissues. Lipomas are characterized by slow growth, and their size is usually from 1 to 10 cm. Larger lipomas are called “giant”. The lesions are usually painless unless they involve joints, nerves, or blood vessels. The skin over the lipoma is not changed.

In the gastrointestinal tract, lipomas are submucosal fatty tumors. They are asymptomatic, but can provoke ulceration and bleeding. Esophageal lipomas can make it difficult to swallow food and liquids, causing belching, vomiting, and reflux.

Lipomas of the small intestine are diagnosed, as a rule, in older people, most often located in the ileum and are dangerous by blockage (obstruction) of the intestinal lumen.

In addition, intestinal lipomas cause pain, obstructive (mechanical) jaundice, and intussusception (invasion of one part of the intestine into another).

Extremely rarely, lipomas form in the heart: subendocardially – under the inner lining of the heart (endocardium) or intramurally – inside the muscle layer (myocardium). Usually, cardiac lipomas are not encapsulated and appear as a yellow mass protruding into the cavity of the heart. Cardiac lipomas can cause chest pain, arrhythmias, and shortness of breath.

Lipomas formed in the bronchi or lung parenchyma lead to impaired respiratory function.

Lipoma Diagnosis

Diagnosis requires a clinical examination by a physician and soft tissue ultrasound.

Ultrasound of soft tissues

Examination of soft tissues to detect pathological changes and diagnose neoplasms.

RUB 1,790

Sign up

If the gastrointestinal tract is affected, contrast studies can be used, and in the case of an atypical location of the lipoma (for example, in the heart), in addition to ultrasound, computed or magnetic resonance imaging is performed.

Which doctors to contact

Diagnosis can be made by a dermatologist,
family doctor or
therapist. Surgical treatment is performed
surgeon.

Treatment of lipoma

If the lipoma is painless and does not cause discomfort, no treatment is required. An indication for the removal of subcutaneous lipomas is their unfortunate location, that is, a cosmetic defect. The most effective method of correction is surgical excision of the lipoma together with the capsule.

In addition to excision for the treatment of small subcutaneous lipomas, there are conservative therapies, such as injections of lipolytic drugs, whose action is aimed at breaking down fat cells. However, after such treatment, relapses are possible.

Complications

Gastrointestinal lipomas can cause bleeding, blockage of the intestinal lumen, jaundice, and intussusception.

Cardiac lipomas can lead to embolism and cardiac arrhythmias.

Huge subcutaneous lipomas can compress nerves and surrounding structures. If a pedunculated lipoma occurs, there is a risk of its twisting, as a result of which the blood supply to the lipoma is disrupted, which is fraught with its necrosis or ulceration.

Prevention of lipoma

To prevent the occurrence of lipoma, factors that can provoke its growth should be minimized:

• avoid injury to soft tissues,
• maintain adequate weight,
• treat disorders of carbohydrate metabolism,
• monitor cholesterol levels and correct them in time.

Phytotherapy is recognized as one of the methods of dealing with hemorrhoids in the anus . Massage has a beneficial effect. But it is better to trust such a procedure to professionals.

Reduction of bumps

How to remove bumps from hemorrhoids? When the disease is already advanced, the bumps fall out and no longer retract on their own, but remain outside. If a node falls out, then it is necessary to set it.

You can also do this yourself.

The procedure is not difficult and does not take much time, but you need to do all the steps carefully:

1. To begin with, you should disinfect your hands and put on medical gloves.
2. The pouch that has fallen out is anesthetized. This is done with the help of ice or anesthetic ointments.
3. In order to properly set the knot, you must assume a kneeling position. Move one buttock away, grease the finger of the other hand with Vaseline.
4. The plexus is gently pushed into the passage and pushed inward until it feels like it is set correctly.
5. The pin must be carefully removed.

After reduction, the bump may fall out again, but to prevent this from happening, you need to tighten the muscles of the buttocks. So it is better to lie down or sit quietly for half an hour.

Surgical treatment

There are several types of surgical procedures to remove hemorrhoids. They allow non-surgical and quick removal of external hemorrhoids and nodes. Such minimally invasive techniques allow you to remove nodes in a short time, as they are carried out in a stationary mode.

The patient can undergo procedures according to indications. After it, the patient does not need time for rehabilitation, and he can immediately return to the usual rhythm of life.

Sclerosis of nodes

It is prescribed for patients who have got out hemorrhoids. The procedure consists in the introduction of a special drug that causes the formation of a scar at the junction of the cone with the wall. As a result, the node dies, which allows it to dissolve completely.

The remaining nodes are also gradually removed. The advantage of this method is that it does not cause pain and several bumps can be removed at once, if necessary. When using this method, nodes cannot remain. On the same day, the patient can go home.

Treatment of hemorrhoidal bumps is carried out in several sessions, after which they disappear.

Laser treatment

The hemorrhoidal sac is cut off with a laser. Preliminary coagulation is carried out. With the help of infrared radiation, the affected vessels are sealed and the nodes are cauterized. The bump dries up and decreases, and the blood stasis disappears.

Learn more about this method here.

Ligation

The method consists in tying the knots with an elastic band or a latex ring. Gradually, hemorrhoidal cones begin to dry out and die, because they do not receive nutrition in the form of blood. Such a procedure is resorted to at an advanced stage of the disease.

The big advantage of its implementation is painlessness, efficiency, single use. At the same time, it does not last long and is completed within one day.

Milligan-Morgan Hemorrhoidectomy

Has been practiced for almost a century. The patient is given local anesthesia. During the operation, the nodes are removed. This method does not exclude the development of complications and is less desirable compared to non-invasive techniques.

After surgery for hemorrhoids, a relatively long rehabilitation is required for the disease to completely disappear.

Causes and symptoms

There are a number of causes that can adversely affect the condition of the rectal mucosa and due to which nodes may appear.

The main ones include:

• hereditary predisposition;
• large overweight;
• frequent stress;
• constipation;
• physical activity;
• sedentary lifestyle;
• pregnancy and childbirth;
• presence of internal cracks;
• infection and the presence of inflammation in the intestines;
• anal sex;

Recognizing the disease is not so difficult. It always starts with bloody discharge during or after defecation, discomfort in the anus, the mucous membrane hurts very much.

Hemorrhoidal lumps are initially inside, but during the course of the disease they begin to fall out. At first they will be easy to adjust. But over time, this procedure will become difficult to perform. You can remove hemorrhoids with the help of medicines.

Prevention of occurrence

The best way to fight a disease is to prevent it. This method requires a minimum of effort and even brings pleasure. And the result will not keep you waiting.

You can save yourself from hemorrhoids by following simple rules:

1. Try to lead an active lifestyle. Move more, spend time with benefits for the body. It is not necessary to buy subscriptions to the fitness center. It is enough to devote a couple of hours to an active walk or go to the pool. So you arrange the prevention of not only hemorrhoids, but also many other diseases.
2. Avoid constipation. To do this, you should choose the right diet, which will include all the necessary components, but will not be a burden on the body.
3. Doctors recommend washing with cold water after every bowel movement using wet wipes or soft toilet paper. Also, you should not hold back at the first urge. Frequent use of laxatives is not recommended.
4. Hygiene in the anus plays an important role. It’s best to ditch the hard toilet paper and use gentler methods to avoid damaging surfaces.
