Sitting Pimples is a popular term, and it can be caused by long periods of sitting, unclean skin, scratching, or a weakened immune system. Do you know the treatment for sitting pimples?
Causes of Sitting Pimples
Sitting pimples occur as a result of folliculitis and abscesses on the skin of the buttocks.
Folliculitis is a group of inflammations that occur at the opening of hair follicles or around the hair follicles, while abscesses are acute suppurative inflammations of a single hair follicle and the surrounding area.
This condition is more common in hot and stuffy environments. Poor local blood circulation due to prolonged sitting, combined with moisture and sweating, can lead to the occurrence of this condition. Unclean skin, scratching, or a weakened immune system can all trigger this disease.
Treatment for Sitting Pimples
The treatment should focus on dispersing wind and relieving itching, as well as clearing heat and cooling blood. Internally, wind-dispersing powders combined with cooling blood tonics can be chosen, or Five-Flavored Disinfectant Drink can be used with additional ingredients. For external use, decoctions made from wild chrysanthemum, Sichuan pepper, and yellow bark can be used for fumigation and washing, or a bath with Sophora flavescens decoction can be taken. This is equivalent to treating abscesses on the buttocks.
1. Take dried snake gourd skin, grind it into powder, mix it with alcohol, and apply it evenly. Another method is to chew raw sesame seeds and apply the paste.
2. Mash raw potatoes and apply them to the affected area. Wrap it with a cloth and change it once a day. Usually, it will heal within 5 days.
Prevention of Sitting Pimples
After the patient recovers from the disease, it is important to pay attention to prevention. In seasons when the disease is more prevalent, such as summer, patients should try to avoid sitting on wet ground or long-term exposure to sun-soaked benches.
In addition, patients should maintain personal hygiene and keep the affected area dry and fresh. Avoid engaging in overly strenuous activities to prevent excessive sweating. Avoid wearing tight-fitting pants or pants made of poor-quality materials. It is best to choose pants that are breathable and soft.
