Why am I getting butt acne and how can Ayurveda help? - #16751
For the past few months, I’ve been dealing with something really embarrassing—butt acne. At first, I thought it was just a few random pimples, but now it’s becoming a regular problem. These red, painful bumps keep appearing, some even turning into pus-filled spots. Sitting for long hours at work makes it worse, and sometimes they even itch. I’ve tried using antibacterial soaps and even changed my detergent thinking it might be an allergic reaction, but nothing is really helping. I usually work out a lot and wear tight gym clothes, so I thought maybe sweat and friction were causing my butt acne. But I shower regularly and even switched to loose cotton underwear to let my skin breathe, yet the breakouts keep happening. Some days, my skin feels rough, almost like tiny bumps all over, and other times, a few big ones appear and hurt. I don’t have this issue anywhere else on my body, so why only here? I also have occasional digestive issues, like bloating and constipation, which made me wonder—could butt acne be linked to gut health? I’ve heard that toxins in the body can come out through the skin. Does Ayurveda see butt acne as a sign of internal imbalance? Could there be a deeper issue with my doshas, maybe excess Pitta or Kapha? I don’t want to keep using chemical creams or antibiotics because I prefer natural treatments. Are there Ayurvedic herbs, oils, or detox methods that can help clear butt acne? Should I make any dietary changes to balance my skin health? And what about external remedies like turmeric or neem—would those help with the inflammation? Would really appreciate any Ayurvedic insights on why butt acne keeps coming back and what I can do to get rid of it for good.
