For some reason lately I've been getting weird red bumps on my behind. Some days they hurt and look like pimples that have come to a head but most times they are just red dots. Does anyone know what this is and how to take care of it. I've never had acne problems or anything like that. Could it be the friction from tight pants on hot sweaty days?(its been up in the 30's here for around the last two weeks and high 20's before that) because I don't think I own any loose clothing at all

It comes from your rear end sweating. My husband gets the same thing. He is in the Navy and has to wear utilities (fire retardant pants.. they don't breathe! ). Just don't pick or squeeze them and they will go away in their own time. If you are around the house, just wear comfortable, breathable clothing.

If they don't clear up, see a doctor about what you can do about them. :)

No problem. Just make sure your rear end stays as sweat free as possible.

If they got to be too much of a bother I'm sure a doctor can refer you as to what to do. My best advice would be to wash the area with a good oil control wash. :)

Also known as a "heat rash" its chaffing during the hot days ;)

Baby powder to help keep the area dry -or- Desitin (http://www.desitin.com/en/?dsp=1&psp=0)... not just for babies ;)
