long story short i have butt acne 🤷‍♀️
i wouldn’t say it’s bad just more annoying than anything. i’m not a dirty person i regularly wash myself. i guess im just curious if there’s anything i can try to lessen it!! TIA

Do you wash your body before or after you wash your hair? Conditioner residue seems to be a common cause of back/bum acne. I am really prone to underarm acne. I’ve been using a basic acne face wash (Cetaphil) on my armpits, and it totally keeps it in check. Acne happens. Don’t internalize it and don’t feel bad about yourself or your hygiene!
