Red bumps on my buttocks - what kind of skin problem? Posted: 11-13-07 20:03pm
About a year ago I noticed that I had a
red bump on my buttocks. It didn't itch
but it was kind of sore but not so much
that I could sit down. I thought it might
have been a zit so I popped it and clear
liquid came out. A few weeks later another
bump appeared in another location and I
repeated the same thing. After that I just
stopped popping them because I knew it
wasn't a good idea. For awhile, the bumps
would reappear and then seemingly heal
itself and I notice they leave a bluish
mark that fadded to a redish mark. This
spread over both my buttocks and now are
starting to appear on my side and one even
on my leg. (Note that the bumps never
appear in a place more than once.)
Sometimes they make the area around the
bump itch a little but not usually, mostly
they are just sore and very red. I also
haven't noticed and white or black head on
the bumps, they're all just a bright red.
I had gotten herpes simplex in my eye
years before and I had wondered maybe if
somehow it had gotten on my buttocks but
when I saw a doctor about it and she said
from what I told her that it wasn't herpes
because they didn't come in clusters but
the bumps sound like they're herpes. At
first she told me to use phisoderm (a
medical soap for acne and breakouts) but
so far I haven't noticed it helping much.
I'm going to go back again and I'm trying
to find a dermatologist but I was
wondering if someone might give me a clue
as to what the heck these things are.
I have a lot of skin problems and I've
ruled out zits, acne, ingrown hairs, and
probably herpes.

Classic case of Ingrown hair.
I go to the gym 6 days a week...RIGHT
after the gym i HAVE to shower or i will
get these bumps. They are EXTREMELY
annoying and if you pop them, you get a
badass scar...
Showering twice a day helps, as well as
using Cetaphil on the buttox and the
crotch.
Let us know!

Bumps On Me Bum Posted: 12-06-07 19:34pm
Hi ya, I get these sometimes and like u
said sumtimes itchy but most of the time
their just red n sore and sumtimes pretty
big.
I used to get them a hell of a lot wen i
was in skool and my doc put it dwn to heat
bumps, where i was wearing tights it was
irritating by backside n tops of my legs.
I still get it now but only if i sit with
bare legs on a plasic chair coz i makes
them a bit sweaty n hot.
The only thing that really wrks for me is
to leave them alone otherwise they come
back with a vengance, and dnt wear tights
or anything that makes ur ass to hot.
