Hello,
Spots affecting the buttocks are quite common and are caused mainly by the condition folliculitis. It is an irritation, infection or blockage of the hair follicles causes a red, bumpy rash on the skin. I suggest to clean the area with an antibacterial soap and cover it with Neosporin cream.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
