Breast pimples are a very common ailment in both men and women and at least 75-80% people have experienced it at some time or the other. Acne is generally seen on the face, neck, upper arms, chest and back, but it can appear in other places too. Males are more prone to getting acne which tends to be more severe while in the case of females, it is more prolonged.
Causes
The
causes of breast pimples are varied. Hormonal
changes in females during the menstruation and pregnancy
is a primary cause of breast acne. Exposure to
pollution, grime, grease, stress and heavy perspiration
can also cause breast pimples. Certain medications might
also cause pimples and it is best to ask your physician
for an alternative medicine if you start developing this
condition.
Prevention
Since
pimples are almost always caused by ingrown hairs on the
chest, it is essential to use an exfoliator regularly on
your chest. Follow it up with a facial toner which will
help to close the pores of the affected
area.
Do
not wear sports bras as they leave little room for the
evaporation of moisture. Always wear bras that lift your
breasts and allow them to breathe and dry out. Since too
much perspiration can cause breast pimples, make sure to
have a quick bath as soon as you can after getting
sweaty, especially in hot summers.
Treatment
Mild
breast pimples can change into a virulent attack
overnight if it is not treated at the outset. So always
take note when the first ones appear and do not neglect,
as many people tend to do. As far as possible, use
natural home remedies but do consult a doctor if there
is no improvement. Ideally you should use an
antibacterial soap for bathing and keep a separate bar
of soap for the breasts only to prevent breast
pimples.
Check
for allergies before you apply Aloe Vera gel. Tea tree
oil is highly recommended for its antiseptic and
antifungal properties and its multiple healing elements.
This healing oil does not cause skin irritation, nor
does it dry out the skin. It is best used at bedtime or
before taking a bath. Acne pads, if available, are an
affordable and safe product to be used under the breast
after a bath. Combine organic products like turmeric and
coconut oil and apply it at bedtime. A cleanser made up
of either tea tree oil or lavender oil can be applied to
the breast acne. Apply other home remedies like raw
papaya juice, orange peels, garlic or tomato slices to
the areas that are affected by these
pimples.
While
considering what treatment to use for breast
pimples, it is also important for you to remember
that most treatments tend to treat the problem from the
outside. That is just the symptoms, without really
trying to find out what the root causes of the problem
are. That is why you may have a recurrence even though
the problem goes away temporarily. This is where the
holistic approach is so much superior to other forms of
treatment. It goes to the root of the problem and cures
you from inside. That is why conditions once cured
through the holistic approach stay cured for
ever.
