What Causes Black Spots And Pimples On Buttocks?

Dear Doctor, I am 15 years old, and i am worried about my body. I don t really look at my butt or anything, but today i did, and i notice that i have black spots and some pimple like things on my butt, could this be a serious condition, or is it common and not to worry about?

Hello,
This is Dr. Klarida Papaqako answering your question.

From your description, looks like they are:
-- hair follicles infected (called folliculitis) who may either become pimples with a white spot in top, or if they don't pop, and are not painful, they become black spots.

-- Another problem it may be, are acne spots, but you must also have pimples in the face, chest and shoulders also, because these are the common places they appear.

Both conditions are not serious. But if you notice they spots hurt, have pus on top, are growing in number and size, then I would recommend to do a visit to a doctor, so he confirms diagnoses and gives you the proper treatment.

Meanwhile, keep in mind, to wash your skin with antibacterial soaps, and eat a healthy diet with plenty of fluids, fibers, fruits and vegetables.

Take care.
