#1 Stop wearing tight clothing

Some of us practically live in our yoga pants but wearing tight clothing, especially the ones you have worked out in, allows sweat and bacteria to cling onto skin. This raises the likelihood of pimples forming. Wear loose-fitting clothes and cotton underwear to allow skin to breathe. 

#2 Wash it right

We might be stating the obvious here, but always shower right after your workout. Sweat and sebum form the perfect environment for acne-causing bacteria to fester, which in turn causes pimples. Even if you feel that you didn't sweat much during your yoga sesh, make it a point to hop into the shower room for a quick rinse. 

When dealing with butt and back acne, choose body wash that doesn't irritate skin, and ideally does not contain fragrance. Body wash like the T3 Acne Body Wash and Sebamed Body Wash are gentle and good for acne-prone skin. 

#3 Don't squeeze the pimples

It can be tad challenging to try and squeeze your own pimples on the butt and back, but in case you can find someone brave enough to do it for you, don't do it anyway. You might end up damaging the skin around the area, and cause further inflammation. 

#4 See a dermatologist if you have to

We can imagine how awkward it might be to see a doctor for pimples on your back or butt, but if the acne on these area are severe, you might need professional help to get rid of them. Acne on the butt and back can be painful and disruptive, so don't be afraid to reach out to a doctor for help.
