Acne on the pope is more correctly called acne or rash on the buttocks. However, even quite well-known people did not avoid such troubles, information is known that the founding father of the world communist movement, Karl Marx, periodically suffered from acne on a soft spot, especially when he was finishing his titanic work called "Capital." In this regard, it is logical to assume that the initial cause of irritation and rash on the buttocks can be considered a long sedentary lifestyle. However, even for ladies who do not bother with mental work, assuming a long sitting at a writing or computer desk, they also pop up pimples on the pope, violating the integrity of their brilliant and refined image.

Of course, in the winter such aesthetic defects can be easily disguised under clothing, but visiting the pool or the beach at the height of the summer season can cause unthinkable problems due to the sheer appearance of ugly formations at the most interesting place. Why do pimples appear on the pope and what can be done to quickly neutralize them?

Causes of the pimples on the pope

  • Allergies to an uncomfortable skin for the buttocks of clothing. It can be irritation from synthetic underwear or a reaction to too tight, awkward, though fashionable, beautiful underwear. Any item of a linen wardrobe should be made of cotton fabric that perfectly absorbs excess moisture and allows a sufficient amount of air to pass through the body without creating a greenhouse effect. 
  • Non-observance of the rules of personal hygiene with respect to regular change and high-quality washing of underwear. In tissues, fungal microorganisms, dust mites, which provoke the formation of acne on the buttocks, can multiply. 
  • Allergy to the means for washing underwear. Sometimes it is enough to change the advertised washing powder to a normal soap without aromatic, synthetic perfumes in order to neutralize unaesthetic rashes on the pope. 
  • Banal hypothermia, the habit of sitting on everything that comes along the way, including cold parapets, concrete benches, dirty steps of stairs. If we consider that many young ladies, and even the representatives of the stronger sex, do not consider it possible to wear warm underwear in winter, sitting on the cold surface is guaranteed to lead to acne on the buttocks, which can develop into furuncles. 
  • Avitaminosis, micronutrient deficiency. As a rule, acne on such a delicate place of the body shows a strong deficit of vitamin D, vitamin and B vitamins. Acne of the skin of the buttocks, down to the peeling, may be a harbinger of pimples. 
  • Admission of hormonal drugs, including oral contraceptives. Changes in the hormonal background can trigger the appearance of pimples on the chin, buttocks and back. 
  • Intoxication as a result of disruption of the gastrointestinal tract. Skin as the largest excretory organ tries to release the body from intoxication products, clogged pores do not let toxins out, accumulating them in pimples. 
  • Too dry skin on buttocks. Strangely enough, the buttocks do not contain too much sebum (subcutaneous sebaceous layer), the skin in these places needs constant moistening. The absence of fatty grease leads to irritation from quite natural mechanical friction (sitting, tight clothes), and then to acne. Acne on the pope can be at first quite deep, and then go to the surface in the form of pustules.

  • Do not let yourself sit down on cold surfaces - benches, steps, parapets. 
  • Regularly take vitamin-mineral complexes (Multitabs, Vitrum, Complect, Alphabet, etc.), the body can not be saturated with vitamins for future use, they do not have the property to accumulate, therefore their reserve must be constantly replenished. 
  • Adjust the digestive tract, refuse at least for a while from sweet, savory, salty foods, you need to go to a cellulose-rich diet, cereals, steamed vegetables. 
  • Regularly moisturize the skin of the buttocks with a nourishing cream - this will help keep the skin turgor. Humidification is needed as an acne prophylaxis, and also helps to prevent another trouble - cellulite. Panthenol has an excellent moisturizing effect and antiseptic effect. 
  • To pinpoint pimples on the pope with pharmaceutical preparations, directed action - Zinerit, Fusiderm, Skinoren, Dalatsin, Kuriyozin. 
  • Puncture acne on the pope with salicylic acid, not overdrying and applying the remedy for more than five days. You can make lotions with Chlorhexidine, but also no more than three to five days.

Pimples on the pope, of course, do not adorn a man, whether he is Karl Marx, or even more so a woman. However, not a single pimple on the buttocks remains forever and in principle does not cause discomfort, except for aesthetic. Of course, we are talking about ordinary rashes, and not boils and abscesses, which require medical attention. To distinguish them from simple acne is simple: furunculosis is much more painful, the formations on the buttocks are usually purulent, often accompanied by extensive spread. Independent measures can lead to deplorable consequences - abscesses, which are already removed surgically. All other pimples on the pop are quite easy to treat, the main thing to remember simple rules - cleanliness, moisturizing, normal nutrition and no cold in the buttocks. Then the pimples on the priest will disappear, and the reproductive functions will be in order.
