What is the reason for the small pimples on the buttocks?

There are actually many reasons for the appearance of small bumps on the buttocks, because there are also many skin diseases that cause this phenomenon, such as folliculitis, pyogenic coccus, etc. When small pimples appear, you must first find out the specific cause before you can treat it better. Try to avoid using folk remedies to treat it, so as not to damage the health of your skin again.

Symptoms of Folliculitis

Rash, itching, or mild pain

Folliculitis is more common in adults. It is common on the head, neck, buttocks and vulva. The patient feels itching or mild pain, but generally has no systemic symptoms. The rash initially appears as pinhead-sized red follicular papules, which gradually turn into miliary-sized pustules with hair running through the center and an inflammatory red halo around them.

Most pustules appear in batches and do not merge with each other. After the pustule bursts, a small amount of pus and blood is discharged and a yellow scab is formed. The disease will heal once the scab falls off without leaving any scars.

Hard knot

Generally, folliculitis can recur and form chronic folliculitis. When it occurs on the face, the skin lesions show papillary hyperplasia or form scar nodules, which are difficult to cure. Folliculitis develops deeper and can cause perifolliculitis, called furunculosis. Multiple and recurrent furuncles are called furunculosis.

Severe patients may also have symptoms of fever and headache, and may even develop sepsis or septicemia. If the boils on the nose or lips are squeezed, it may cause diseases such as suppurative thrombophlebitis.

Causes of Folliculitis

Pyococcus

If pyogenic cocci invade the area around the hair follicle opening, inflammation will appear in the hair follicles and other parts. This is what we often call folliculitis in our daily life. The cause of pyogenic coccal infection is closely related to skin cleanliness.

If you do not pay attention to skin cleanliness and do not take a bath for a long time, it will cause skin infection and then cause folliculitis. In addition, damage caused by pulling, rubbing, and scratching of the hair may also lead to infection.

In addition, skin immersion, local sealing bandages, and application of corticosteroids in daily life can all lead to folliculitis. Especially some patients with low immunity and diabetes should be more vigilant about the susceptibility to folliculitis infection. It is best for these patients to go to the hospital for regular check-ups.
