Home Remedies for Acne And Boils
Boils are different from pimples, Acne and boils on the buttocks can be a very painful and annoying thing, as it is the area of the body which is subjected to a continuous pressure due to sitting. It is aesthetically not good as well.
Acne on the buttocks occur when dirt and moisture in our clothing gets trapped inside the skin of the buttocks. The continuous abrasion of the buttocks due to sitting also forces the infection to enter the skin. This results in boils and acne on the buttocks. The sweat and bacteria trapped inside your underwear can also result in an outbreak of acne on the buttocks. Therefore, we must always change your underwear frequently and also wash that area regularly. Treating acne of the buttocks may take time, as the continuous pressure and friction on the buttocks can prevent it from healing. The oils and other remedies applied may also get wiped on the clothing, which therefore prevents the treatment from entering the skin.
