Yeast does thrive in moist environments and it is mostly due to tight clothing (especially underwear or skinny jeans). One of the main reasons for this infection is that the material tries to trap the heat and moisture which might make yeast infections to spread in this environment.

If your legs become red or itching, it may be your skinny jeans that are causing this problem. Little red bump are the skin problems that occur due to tight jeans. Usually the material causes friction on your skin which may lead to skin infection folliculitis. A folliculitis infection happens when bacteria or fungi go through the hair follicles and which in turn causes inflammation.

Heat bumps
When you start sweating it can trigger development of pimple on the skin. Inner thighs suffer from excessive sweating and this can often lead to pimples on inner thighs. Sweat tries to block pores on the skin and this prevents the skin to breathe. Sweat bumps or heat rash is the common causes of skin problems due to tight jeans.

Excessive heat, wearing tight clothing and perspiration are the most important factors that cause pimples, blackheads or acne on the thighs. Wearing tight jeans can cause irritation to the hair in the buttock region which results in pimples on your back. Hormonal imbalance tries to make oil glands more hyperactive which in turn leads to glut of sebum production. This clogs the pores and causes acne. Back acne is the most common skinny jeans problem.
