Hi ,
I have some nasty pimple/acne/scars... on my butt!! They just made my butt so ugly and even turned my skin color on that area darker! Some times it hurt to even sit! Please tell me what do you thing? What are they and how can I get rid of them

Go see a dermatoligist
It is probable acne or something like that but your picture isn't very good I can't tell.
It kind looks like you have a lot of black heads but not to sure.

I post some other pics. What are u think?

Looks to me like a bad case of ingrown hair. I would go to a dermatologist just to be sure.

Why do you not see a doctor. The best thing to do is see a doctor to get a definite answer of what it could be. Ingrown hair is a possibility. I had a condition one time called pidelnidle sinus and it is a severe case of ingrown hair but in the crack of the butt. Ingrown hair could be found any where but I think it might be something different then that. It looks like another condition to me but you will not find out for sure until you see somebody.

Excessive perspiring can also bring about effects like this. Over a long period the spots become scars because they did not get a proper chance to heal. There are a lot of good treatments available, in creams and washes that you can use. Usually it is a case of drawing out the inset impurities and it'll look fresher in no time.

What kind of cream or treatment you mean ?

Hard to say what it is exactly. Could be pseudomonas folliculitis:

It's really impossible to say. I have never encountered this particular infection before, though I can tell you, it is a likely possibility if you make any use of hot tubs at all. I agree, definitely see a dermatologist. They are likely the only one able to give anything remotely approaching a definitive answer. Almost near certainly an affliction of the hair follicles though, in my opinion.

However, Thomas, pseudamonas is an OIP (opportunistic), unless this person has been ill or in a hospital long term as well as being exposed to it, it is unlikely that it is pseudomonas.

I totally agree with the affliction of hair follicles. I was thinking more on the lines of ingrown hairs. It is a condition where the hair, as it is growning out, doubles back and does not come completely out causing a rash that appears blistery. This would be a form of folliculitis (inflammation of the follicle) but caused by ingrown hairs. What do you think?

Either way, like Thomas said, you shoulde definatley see a dermatologist.

Although, I had to edit this post to add that it may be possible if this person has been spending time in a hot tub. Here is the link I found from the CDC. http://www.cdc.gov/healthyswimming/derm.htm

Hi J 9,
Looking over the photos for a second time I think you may be right. The two difficulties I was having were a) discerning many clearly defined pustules, and b) the extent of the hyperpigmentation in the healed rash.
There do appear to be a few distinct pustules in the initial photo, relatively large, though the photo is very out of focus. Looking now at the s4 photo, there does appear to be a cluster of small pustules along the mid-top edge of the photo. Pustules with little discernible inflammation surrounding them. Though what does puzzle me, again, is the extent of hyperpigmentation in the healed rash. It seems almost reminiscent of cystic acne, though I pretty well ruled out staphylococcal infections, either boils or common acne. I thought this might indicate the presence of a more infectious agent though, spilling into surrounding tissue. I haven't seen many ingrown hairs -- is this kind of discoloration common with them? The only other thing that appeared to be possibly evident in s4, is that, on the left, roughly upper half of the photo, the skin in areas appears to be perhaps slightly wrinkled, as if it had been recently scabbed over.
I do agree pseudonomas is unlikely under most conditions, unless one were to frequent hot tubs, as I had also stated in my previous post, or one was immunocompromised. I myself dealt with a about of boils during my therapeutic massage training, perhaps being then slightly immunocompromised due to a temporarily untreated thyroid disorder, possibly concurrent with my first (then uncomfirmed) exposure to lyme. The school rented our sheets from a company that also supplied hospitals and prisons, and many of them didn't always arrive in pristine condition.
The only other thing I had wondered about was epilation, not at all uncommon these days, and particularly common among competitive swimmers -- in which case, epilating or swimming, either could be a fairly feasible result. I just don't know. Though, in the absence of any systemic malaise, based on the s4 photo, your diagnosis is probably right on target. I'm glad we agree it's a follicle affliction anyhow. :)

It's basically acne. It's caused by the same factors as acne found on the face, neck, back and chest. It may be a result of an excessive production of oils in the sebaceous glands, which are then attached to the hair follicle and produce sebum, which is actually an oily substance that will form a blemish if blocked on the follicles. Acne on the bottom may also occur if bacteria found on the skin multiply at an abnormal rate and clog the follicle. It can also be the result of severe irritation caused by the dead skin cells that are shedding to fast. This can be treated with acne treatments. But you should consult a dermatologist and have it checked out.

what kinda cream or treatment you mean ?

I have a friend wo takes a range of vitamines and suppliments in order to clear out skin pores and help maintain it. You may decide to try Evening Primrose oil in tablet form, or directly onto your skin. Also, you could try Starflower oil, and of course, Vitamin E in lotion or oil form. :)

Do you get the painful phase at least once or twice a year, along with more inflammation? If so, this MIGHT be a type of herpes that you got without knowing. Herpes does not just manifest itself near the mouth, it can crop up anywhere. There are creams to help, but this is only my guess.

At any rate, as suggested, see a doctor to be reassured.

Good luck, and keep us posted.
