Acne is an inherited disorder of the pores - pores that want to sludge up with dead skin cells much like a clogged drain in your sink. Normal pores shed about one layer of dead skin cells per day inside the pore. The acne-prone pore sheds up to five layers of dead skin cells per day and the body just can't keep up. This forms blackheads or congestion under the skin; and if bacteria are present (which just loves to feed on the dead skin cells and oil) you will get inflamed pimples or pustules.

The biggest source of clogged pores and acne is your own dead skin cells. Skin constantly grows, and constantly is replaced. Old skin dies and has to be washed off, otherwise it forms a layer that keeps out air and allows anaerobic bacteria to grow.

Why do pimples appear on my butt?

Moisture is often a cause of pimples, clogged pores. If your toddler has pimples on the buttalks, I would suggest using a anti-bacterial soap on the buttalks only. Make sure to change diapers frequently to prevent extra moisture. Sometimes pimples can be caused by a rash, it can be caused by the brand of diapers, or laundry soap even. It's best to leave the pimples alone, do not scrub or bother them, and wash the buttalks often, with the anti-bacterial soap to clean and dry them out.

If you wear sunscreen will you get pimples?

In general, the sun will actually do the opposite, making more pimples appear or at least making existing ones more pronounced. Direct exposure to sunlight can cause the sweat to form on the surface, bringing oils up and clogging pores. It can make existing pimples more pronounced in the same way it causes a sun burn. It will often make the pimples much redder and inflamed. The best way to get rid of pimples is to speak to a dermatologist who will either prescribe a prescription acne medication or recommend an over-the-counter treatment. answer: No, actually, if you already have them, it makes red marks, that can hardly desappear.
