Acne on the buttocks

Generally speaking, acne does not grow on the buttocks. It is very likely that this is not acne, but a boil. In the early days, iodine could be used for disinfection. Wash the affected area frequently to prevent it from happening again. There are often bumps on the skin, so try not to touch them with your hands. Otherwise, new infections will occur, which is very unfavorable. You can try hot compress, which is also a very good choice.

You won't get acne on your butt. If you have acne-like bumps on your buttocks, remember that they are not acne, they are boils.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, boils are caused by heat toxins invading the skin and are a type of heat syndrome caused by sores and ulcers, so they are also called "heat boils." Boils that are as small as nails but have more severe reactions are called "boils". Furuncles are most common on the head, face, neck, back, and buttocks; furuncles are mainly seen on the face, fingers, and toes. Although boils are small, their prevention and treatment cannot be ignored.

First of all, we must pay attention to the cleanliness of the skin, otherwise staphylococcus will invade the hair follicles, sebaceous glands and subcutaneous tissue, causing suppuration and disease.

Treatment:

In the initial stage, you can apply iodine to the affected area, or grind 5 to 10 Liushen Pills into a paste and add vinegar to apply it to the affected area. In the middle stage of carbuncle, local treatment, such as hot compress, is helpful to relieve pain and dissipate inflammation; you can also apply Jinhuangsan, Bactroban ointment, etc.; if there is a pus head, apply carbolic acid or iodine tincture on the top to prevent squeezing and touching. Never squeeze the pus with your fingers, as this can easily cause infection. Those with more severe symptoms can take antibiotics orally to prevent nephritis. For particularly large carbuncles, you should go to the hospital and ask the doctor to make an incision and drain the pus under strict disinfection, and then apply antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs externally to prevent infection. Traditional Chinese medicines such as Liushen Pills, Honeysuckle Dew, Ganlu Xiaodu Pills and Xihuang Pills have unique advantages in treating carbuncles and can be used under the guidance of a doctor.

If the condition is serious, it is recommended to go to a professional and regular dermatology hospital for a careful examination and timely treatment to avoid delaying the condition.

Folliculitis is a purulent inflammation caused by bacterial infection of the entire hair follicle; the main symptom is red papules, which then turn into pustules. It mainly occurs in hairy areas in adults and on the head in children. The rashes can sometimes merge with each other, and small patches of baldness may remain after healing.

Antibiotics can be used as appropriate, and 1% neomycin ointment, mupirocin ointment, fusidic acid ointment or 2% iodine tincture can be applied topically.
