Only in rare cases do people turn their attention to the appearance of single rashes on various parts of the body, especially if they pass independently and quickly. Such a symptom as the appearance of a single acne, as a rule, is not dangerous for a person. However, the same cannot be said for multiple pimples on the abdomen, localized in a certain area, for example, under the navel, around it. The reasons for the appearance can be very diverse. If it is accompanied by itching, inflammation, active spread, a dermatologist should be consulted.
Reasons for the appearance
Previously, the main reason for the appearance of pimples on the stomach was considered to be improper nutrition. Such a theory is not far from the truth - rashes can actually appear when an abuse of junk food occurs, but this is not the main reason. The appearance of acne on the abdomen is considered quite a disturbing and specific symptom. Wait until the rashes begin to bother, fester, become inflamed and itchy, should not be. Seek medical help immediately.
Acne provoking factors
The appearance of small acne on the female abdomen may indicate completely safe causes. For example, a similar reaction can occur as a result of wearing synthetic or tight clothing, which causes fogging of this part of the body. However, even in this case, it is not worth waiting for the rashes to pass on their own. If you do not take certain measures, the transformation of pimples into wounds and infection can be ruled out.
The risk of pimples on the stomach is quite high for the following reasons:
- Herpes infection. Externally, the elements look like small bubbles. Rashes are very itchy, rapidly spreading, and cause significant discomfort.
- Syphilis. Most often, red pimples are observed on the abdomen. They are more like spots. They can accumulate not only in the abdomen, but also in the hips, sides, chest. The following feature of the rashes is noteworthy: they do not cause discomfort, they disappear on their own without any treatment. Such manifestations should not be ignored, because the disease does not disappear, but continues to spread and progress.
- Hormonal disbalance. Similar aesthetic defects often occur during pregnancy. After delivery, the rashes disappear on their own without any medical intervention. The only thing required is to provide the skin of the abdomen with adequate cosmetic care.
- Small pimples on the abdomen may indicate infection. Painful and itchy rashes may indicate infectious lesions of the genitourinary system or endocrine glands.
- Allergic phenomena. Acne in the lower abdomen may indicate a negative body response to aggressive detergents. Women are not recommended to abuse a variety of flavored salts, bath foams, and antibacterial soaps intended for intimate hygiene.
- When pimples on the stomach itch - this is a sign of infection with scabies. This disease is provoked by the activity of a parasite - an itch mite that lives between the layers of the dermis. As a result, reddish pimples appear on the surface of the skin on the abdomen. With scabies, they are unbearably itchy, and the itching intensifies in the evening. It should be noted that the disease is contagious, and even a completely healthy person who has had contact with an infected person can catch it.
Differences in rashes in women and men
These causes can cause acne on the abdomen and in men. The only difference is that hormonal disruptions in men develop against the backdrop of not physiological, but pathological reactions. In addition, there are a number of factors that are characteristic of representatives of the stronger sex.
Factors that provoke the occurrence of rashes in men
Most men have a large amount of dense hair on the surface of their abdomen. Under the influence of external stimuli and sweat, their follicles begin to become inflamed, which causes the appearance of an abscess. Such elements, as a rule, are characterized by severe soreness, a rather long healing time. Elementary non-observance of personal hygiene should not be excluded from the causes of acne on the abdomen. The appearance of rashes in many guys is the result of insufficient body care. What else can an adult with itch mean pimples?
Big belly in men
There are two more special risk groups. The first includes men who have a large belly. Their rashes often appear as a result of rubbing the skin with a belt or tight trousers. In this case, acne is very inflamed and itchy. They usually occur on the same site, pass if you abandon problem clothing or take measures aimed at quality skin care.
Sports nutrition
The second risk group includes people who abuse sports nutrition, anabolic steroids, and a variety of nutritional supplements. All of these agents are capable of provoking ordinary urticaria.
Factors provoking the appearance of acne in children
As a rule, the rash that occurs on the baby’s stomach has an infectious nature. Most often, acne in a child's stomach indicates the presence of the following pathological conditions:
- Measles. It is a disease of an infectious nature, characterized by the emergence of vivid clinical manifestations. A rash in the cortex occurs on the face, behind the ears. It looks like small pink spots that merge with each other and spread throughout the body. Some time after infection, rashes can be found on the back and stomach.
- Rubella. This infectious disease in its course is similar to measles, however, the symptomatology is less pronounced, and the rash is more dull.
- Chickenpox. Symptoms during the incubation period are as follows: at the initial stages of the disease, small spots appear on the skin that are red. Soon they transform into pustules, which are filled with a turbid liquid. Over two days of formation, they gradually dry to a crust. Their appearance and maturation provokes intolerable itching, which complicates the situation. When combing the elements, their infection and the formation of a scar can occur.
- Prickly heat. As a rule, small red pimples appear in the folds of the skin, but sometimes they appear on the skin of the abdomen. The reason for this phenomenon is the abuse of synthetic clothing, diapers. Sweating is not a dangerous occurrence, but if left untreated, the child may be uncomfortable.
- Molluscum contagiosum. Represents the result of exposure to viruses. It appears as a pink or whitish tubercle with a depression. If you press on the element, it is possible to provoke the release of curd type clots. Rashes, as a rule, have a group localization, are located on the lateral and lower surfaces of the abdomen.
- Allergy. Numerous small pimples on the baby’s stomach can indicate an allergic reaction. It is possible that they will become inflamed and itchy. Elements can be localized in one zone or spread throughout the body as the allergen is exposed. Quite often, allergies provoke skin care products, for washing, diapers.
special instructions
The treatment of each of these diseases, provoking the appearance of pimples on the abdomen, should be attributed in a special way. So, if in order to alleviate the symptoms, adult patients can use folk remedies, then in the treatment of children this is considered unacceptable, especially without the permission of a doctor. It is possible to begin the treatment of pimples on the abdomen in children only after the pediatrician determines the exact cause of their occurrence and develops an individual treatment regimen.
Species of acne, clinical features
In terms of the appearance of the rashes and the symptoms accompanying their appearance, much can be said about the condition of the person. If the formations are small in size and red in color, then most likely they are a manifestation of an allergic reaction, the result of improper hygiene, the activity of parasites. If the formations are numerous and have a white color, then this may indicate that the body is in a stressful state, the person is not eating properly, or a hormonal failure has occurred. If the elements are painful, then most likely they indicate the presence of an inflammatory process. Particular attention should be paid to watery pimples on the stomach.
Most often, such a rash indicates infection with the virus. In women, a small number of pimples may appear before menstruation in the lower abdomen. And this can happen both a few days and a few hours before its start. It is not worthwhile to independently determine the cause of the appearance of rashes - they rarely appear on the skin of the abdomen and require medical advice. If a pimple is single and has a white top, then this is the least dangerous situation, requiring just high-quality skin care.
Therapy of rashes on the skin of the abdomen
The appearance in a person (of any gender and age) of acne red or white indicates the need for a visit to a dermatologist. In most cases, people make a mistake and start an independent struggle with the problem through the use of cosmetics. As a rule, such funds are ineffective. It is also important to remember that antibiotic drugs will be powerless in case of infection with the virus.
There are several general recommendations that must be observed in the process of combating rashes:
- Prickly heat. It can occur not only in childhood, but also in adulthood. Most often, it persecutes overweight people. You can eliminate the manifestations of sweating by adding chamomile decoction to the bath, regular hygiene procedures, and the use of baby powder.
- Shingles. Symptoms and treatment are interconnected. It is a viral pathology, so therapy involves the use of antiviral medications. Equally important is the exclusion of harmful food and alcohol from the diet, and the strengthening of immunity. Quality rest and stress elimination can help eliminate symptoms. Treatment of shingles can take a long time.
- Allergy. If there is a suspicion that pimples appeared due to an allergic reaction, you can start using antihistamines. However, this will not be enough - it is necessary to determine the allergen and eliminate its effect on the body. In addition, additional local skin care is required, which will prevent the secondary infection from joining.
- Molluscum contagiosum. Special treatment of the disease in childhood is not required, as a rule, its manifestations disappear on their own in a few months. If a molluscum contagiosum is found in an adult, then a variety of surgical innovations should be used that will remove the cosmetic manifestations of the disease.
Conclusion
If the rashes are a result of infection with a venereal disease, then only professional therapy will help. It is important to remember that experiments with the treatment of rashes can not only not give a result, but also harm the patient's condition. In this case, local treatment of pimples on the stomach will not be effective if the root cause of their appearance is not eliminated.
