What Should I Do If I Have Little Bumps on My Back?
The appearance of small bumps on the body is quite common, and they can occur in many parts of the body. The face and back are the most common areas where they appear. Although small bumps on the back may not be very noticeable, some may be accompanied by pain, and they can be uncomfortable when rubbing against clothing. There are many possible reasons for small bumps on the back, and it is important to treat them according to the cause in order to achieve better results. So, what should you do if you have small bumps on your back? Let's take a look below.
1. Clogged pores: Many people lack flexibility and exercise, and often cannot thoroughly clean their backs when showering. This can lead to clogged pores, which over time can develop into pimples or folliculitis. This is a sign that your skin needs detoxification. If you have an increase in small bumps due to this reason, you only need to clean your back thoroughly. When choosing bathing supplies, choose a scrubbing towel with strong cleaning power and use soap to clean. Soap has a stronger cleaning power than shower gel and can better cleanse the skin.
2. Dampness: As an old Chinese saying goes, "Nine out of ten people have dampness." When your body has dampness, it can manifest on the skin, and small bumps on the back are a sign of dampness. This is also a reminder that you should detoxify your body and eliminate dampness. To eliminate dampness, start with your diet: first, eliminate all cold foods, especially the habit of drinking iced water in summer. Second, you can cook red bean and coix seed soup to dispel dampness. Third, you can also try cupping to expel the dampness from your body, and the small bumps on your back will naturally disappear.
3. Lung heat and inflammation: The back is a reflex area of the lungs, and when the lungs are inflamed or the meridians are blocked, small bumps may appear. In this case, we should first clear lung heat and detoxify the body. Eating more white foods can help. You can also seek professional help for scraping the back or moxibustion to clear lung heat. Once the lung heat is cleared and the meridians are unobstructed, the small bumps will naturally disappear.
4. Bacterial infection and allergies: Some people have sensitive skin on their backs and are prone to allergies. When the clothes worn are not cleaned thoroughly or not changed in time after sweating, bacteria can proliferate on the back, leading to skin allergies. In such cases, it is important to change clothes frequently, replace sweaty clothes promptly, and wash underwear thoroughly. This will help resolve the small bumps on the back.
