Embarassing Butt Acne

[david'sgirl]

I have had unexplained butt acne for some time now. I don't have acne anywhere else on my body and in general don't sit in one spot for very long. I don't have any sweating issues and most of the time time I wear full bottom cotton panties. I am constantly noticing red pimples on my butt cheeks. Occassionally they are painful (as painful as pimples can be), but most of the time it's just a matter of being cosmetically embarassing. Does anyone know what could be a possible cause for this? If you can relate, what have you done to get rid of it?

Try just putting baby powder on your butt every day after your shower and see if that clears it up.  Hopefully that will help. If not, then maybe see a dermatologist.

I use baby powder almost every day after my shower to control acne on my back.  It works great!

wow- i have some back-ne-- what kind of baby powder do you think works best?

[IWantToBeAMom]

Plain ol' Johnson & Johnson Baby Talcum Powder.  I don't like the Starch variation, just Talcum.

Thanks for the comments. I didn't even think of simple baby powder. I started my regiment today after my shower. Thanks and keep the home remedies coming if you have any!

I had the same thing few years ago. I went to the doctor and she gave me ERY PADS 2%---GENERICK FOR T-STAT (thats the name) and told me to use it 2-3 time a day. And in about a week it was gone, I still use them time to time to make sure it wont come back. They are really great you can use them on any part of your body. So try that i hope it works for you, it did for me.
