There
are so many theories propagating the source of acne,
each vying with the other about authenticity that the
average individual is bewildered at the widely
acclaiming diversities. While with some, acne is a
genetic manifestation on which none may ever have any
control, others profess that bad or faulty diet causes
acne. However, most agree that hormonal misbalance
during puberty is the prime cause of acne in the younger
generation. And making the problem worse is the fact
that acne can appear almost anywhere – even in the butt.
No, that is not a pain in the butt, it is but butt
acne.
Delving
deeper into the root of the problem brings us closer to
the hair roots or hair follicles under the skin that
gets blocked up with over production of sebum, causing
acne. Herodotus had acne and so had Cleopatra, the
controversial Egyptian Queen.
However,
there is no recorded history of the Queen suffering from
butt acne although contemporary females
occasionally do complain about this distressing disease
condition. Though theoretically, acne may occur anywhere
in the body, its usual location is on or near the soft
tissues like the face, chest and neck. However, why and
how it occurs in the buttock seems to be a mystery. In
any case, it is embarrassing, inconvenient and painful
for anyone who has got it. The scenario is all the more
sordid as there is no known remedy to cure this
condition unless and until it resolves itself on its own
which nevertheless, is also not very
uncommon.
Contrary
to what many people believe, butt acne is not caused by
wrong diet or some bacteria. The main cause of butt acne
is the build up of toxins within the body when they
cannot be expelled and the production of excess oil by
the sebum gland. In fact, these are the causes not just
of butt acne, but any kind of acne. Actually, both the
cause and the solution of all types remain the
same.
Since
over-the-counter topical acne medications do not prove
ideal in treating butt acne (these medicines also in
many cases cause side effects) because of its
inopportune location, certain corrective steps may
alleviate the symptoms to some extent. Persons suffering
from butt acne should not use synthetic undergarments
that are likely to aggravate the acne, causing it to
flare up with pain and pus forming within. As the butt
is constantly kept covered during our waking hours, it
sure perspires a lot, needing as mush washing as
possible. So a good thorough bath as soon after working
hours may provide ample relief. But this has to be done
with a non-scented, non-irritating soap as such products
invariably aggravate the acne, causing more
discomfort.
Taking
a holistic approach towards a permanent cure may prove
to be the right direction to natural therapy. This may
include change of diet from meat-oriented lunches to
fruit and vegetable salads. Adequate intake of water to
keep the pH value at the right level will also help
reducing the torments of acne. And lastly, lose fitting
garments that allow free air all around the body will
prove helpful in alleviating the acne discomforts to
considerable degree. A last word of consolation – acne
usually do not fall in love with the human butt end,
however round and rosy they might appear and goes away
as spontaneously as they have appeared. But if they do,
butt acne can indeed be successfully and
permanently treated with the holistic treatment
approach.
