hi....i am dr manoj
pimple never happens on the butt...what you are getting may be a insect bite or just a infection of the hair follicle....folliculitis...if its spread beneath the underneath skin,it leads to furuncle...this is like a big boil with the oozing center...dont worry...just a apply a plain antibiotic containing fusidic acid twice daily and it will go in few days....
