Spotty bum

[Lozzi23]

I have tiny spot / pimple things on my bum and scars where they have been, I don’t have this anywhere else, I have been using an exfoliating scrub and moisturising after but it’s not made any difference any advice on how to get nice smooth skin on that area?

I had this too. I found using baby talc every day worked.

Thanks thats fab, I’ll definitely try that xxx

This is probably folliculitus which is an inflammation of the hair follicle, make sure you are exfoliating the area and not staying sweaty or damp gym clothes

those green italy towels are the thing - you can get them on amazon for about a fiver

Yep the Italy towels are magical, also making sure you rinse really well after washing and after rinsing hair as conditioner residue can linger. Same with shower gel if you use it consider switching to bar soap, i am using a cheap as chips superdrug bar that has salicylic acid in and my whole body feels clean and smooth.

I knew someone who had a zinc deficiency and this was one of the side effects.

I’d ring the dr if their scarring. It’s a common site for acne.

A dry body brush has worked wonders for me (£6 TKMaxx)

I have this and they get painful sometimes.

I find that it's worse when I have washed my hair. I think rinsing conditioner off, causes issues. As runs down your back onto your bum and down.

This works for me, but maybe not everyone. I slap a load of coconut oil on my bum cheeks. Wash and condition my hair. Flannel the the rest of the coconut oil off (there's usually just a small amount left from allbthe water running over it) and go over with an Italy towel.

I only wash my hair once a week, so it's doesn't feel like it adds a lot of time to my routine. Just a Sunday.

Its really helped the scaring as well.

Using this Paula's choice body

Combined with the best body brush in the universe

Clears things up. And then as others have said, washing the area twice daily especially if you have exercised, makes the world of difference.

I second the Body brush .

Thanks everyone, hopefully have an unspotty botty soon 🤗
