PIMPLES AND ACNE OVER THE BODY
Pimples and acne are not just a problem related to the face, but can appear in various parts of the body, such as the back, chest, shoulders and even the buttocks. This condition does not only affect teenagers, in fact it can strike at any age, often triggered by factors such as hormones, stress and lifestyle. Let's find out why pimples and acne appear on the body and how to remove them with a specific routine and effective products.
The most common areas
Body acne often occurs in areas with plenty sebaceous glands, such as:
- Back : one of the most affected areas, often subject to rubbing from clothes and sweat.
- Chest and shoulders : tight or synthetic clothing can contribute to clogged pores.
- Buttocks : although less common, small pimples related to friction or sweating may develop.
Why do they appear?
The appearance of impurities occurs due to an accumulation of sebum (natural oil produced by the sebaceous glands) and increase of dead cells in the follicles. When the follicles become clogged, they become a favorite environment for the growth of bacteria (such as Propionibacterium acnes ) that cause inflammation and lead to the formation of papules and pustules (pimples), blackheads and cysts.
Possible causes
- Hormonal Factors: hormonal changes can stimulate excessive sebum production.
- Excessive sweating: when sweat combines with oil and dirt, it increases the risk of clogged pores.
- Tight or synthetic clothing: these do not allow the skin to breathe and can create a humid environment that is ideal for bacteria.
- Stress: influences the release of some hormones that stimulate the production of sebum.
- Unsuitable body products: some products contain harsh ingredients that can make acne worse.
