Personally I use proactive, I swear by it and love it! They also carry a formula for the body, I use that on my boyfriends back, it cleared his back within a couple of weeks. However, it can be a bit drying on the skin, so try and fine a non-comedogenic (non-pore clogging) lotion that suits you, I switch between Aveeno and Cetaphil(works good for Eczema too). Maybe you can try that on your 'Buttne'. Also I totally agree with exfoliating!<br />

I once read in an Autobiography if you shave with Neosporin it will eliminate razor burn, I tried it and it absolutely worked! I used that method for years, I wax now, which in my opinion is best, if you could handle the pain :).<br />

<p>The 'cause' of ingrown hairs is incomplete removal of the hair i.e. shaving as opposed to waxing/sugaring/plucking/threading - instead of growing up & out the base of the follicle grows to a side and can't "get out", causing a bump :)</p>

<p>Not quite sure what to say about the ingrown hair, but I wish you luck with it! I struggle with small bumps down there all the time. I've heard shaving with conditioner is actually better then with a blade alone or shaving cream for that area, so I'm going to try it the next time I need a smoothing. </p>

<p>As for the booty bumps (my terms for butt acne), I don't know when you shower, but before putting on any undergarments, make sure you are completely dry down there. The moisture can react poorly with the skin (which you seem to know already with the antiperspirant!)</p>

<p>I have had real bad body acne before, mostly on my neck, chest, back. I use Panoxyl soap, it has benzoyl peroxide and it works wonders on clearing up the acne, it is pretty drying and I get itchy when I use it, so I only use when I have a "flare up". So that might help with your bootay.</p>

<p>The "buttne" may be folliculitis, which is very common, and is basically a buildup of dead skin cells around hair follicles which can trap bacteria and become infected. The best thing you can do for that is to exfoliate, thoroughly but not too roughly, regularly. That's likely the cause of your ingrown hairs as well, though if the hair has been there that long, I would not try to sort it out yourself.

Go to a dermatologist to have it dealt with, you absolutely don't want an infection. If you're going to continue waxing, exfoliating the area is extremely important. I strongly sympathize with your picking habit, but leaving things alone is the best policy; this will become a lot easier if you can exfoliate properly and eliminate the bumps. You could use a mild antibacterial, but I'm not sure I'd be piling on salicylic acid; this will dry your skin out and can cause it to produce more oil, and more blemishes. Best of luck, I'm sorry you're having this problem!</p> Hi Desilu,

<p>Hi Desilu,</p>
<p>It seems we both have shared similar issues. For ingrown hairs as well as buttne, I buy salicylic acid pads from the drugstore and swipe them across my bikini line (and wherever else I shave and wax) as well as my rear everyday. Salicylic acid is an active ingredient in aspirin and will help to heal and unclog pores. Another product that works extremely well is TendSkin - it's in a blue bottle and you apply it to your bikini zone daily. This has also helped me, but I found…</p>

This has also helped me, but I found that buying Stridex acne pads are more cost effective. Listen, as women, especially those who don't have close friends to be able to ask this stuff with, we need to understand that we all go through the same issues. I hope this helps you in some way. You can always friend me if you need to talk more.</p> Thank you ladies!

<p>Thank you ladies! I think the ingrown may be too far ingrown for me to dig out at this point, but I'll give it a go, and if all else fails, I'll have my RNP kill it when I go see her soon. And Sammi, I think I use deodorant too, but although they are different, I was raised to use them interchangably, which is confusing... It's degree clinical strength... there are seriously days when i think i should just bathe in it, you know???</p>
<p>Thanks again, and I'll let ya'll know how it goes!</p>
