| So glad you cant see my face because im really embarrassed about this but last month I noticed an spot on my rear. Since then they just seem to keep coming! I dont know if this is just a new thing or if ive always had them and just not noticed (belive me I dont spend alot of time looking at my bum) Ive tried the same masks and spot gels that I use on my face but nothing seems to be making any difference! Anyone had to deal with this before? I know its quite funny but help! |

| I'm not laughing at all, you need to describe spots a bit more clearly. Pimples, Red hive type spots ect. ect. I think it depends on what type of spots you have, what they may be and the cause of them? |

| Well its quite hard to get a proper look at them! Definitely raised and red, but not too large and swollen. |

Well without know what they are or their source perhaps you could try a hydrocortisone cream that you can pick up at the pharmacy. It says on the box that this cream is good for skin irritations, itching and redness due to: eczema, dermatitis, insect bites, soaps, detergents. Just an idea but maybe someone else will have a better one.
I have super sensitive skin so every now and then I develop some sort of rash because of an irritation due to some unidentified substance. The pharmacist told me to use the hydrocortisone cream and it works to clear it up. |

If they are boils (usually painful) it probably means u are heated up. Drink lots of water and cooling drinks like watermelon. Also avoid sitting on heated objects like chairs that have been out in the hot sun or car seats of cars that have been parked under the sun.
If they are probably pimples/clogged pores, try exfoliating. |

I would start with Stridex Pads, which contain 2% salycilic acid. It will kill bacteria, reduce inflammation, and reduce the redness quickly.
I had to use them once myself for that very purpose when we had a VERY hot summer and I had to spend too much time sitting on my butt in a car. In fact, I think I read about using them here on EDS...someone mentioned they worked for a sweaty "swamp a$$" or a similarly choice phrase.  |

Have you been sitting a lot more recently? (i.e. at a computer).I would guess the limited circulation could lead to clogged pores and blockages..especially if there is a lack of exercise in your daily routine as well.
in my experience a good wash and loofah every day in the shower should help immensely! that or a dry body brush in the area for 2-3 min a day
good luck! |

I suppose ive had time recently to take more baths and I do like them ridiculously hot. And its been mentioned to me that the room that ive been sleeping in is far too hot (not turned down the heating and removed the extra blankets from winter)Could that really be the cause??
I know hydrocortisone could help with the inflamation but im worried thats since its a cream it could just add to any clogging thats been going on |

That's why I suggested the Stridex pads...same anti-inflammatory benefit, plus no clogging AND you get the benefit of additional exfoliation to get rid of any more clogged pores.
They work on face acne, back acne, AND butt acne! |

AKA Swamp a$$? I agree with your suggestion and if it turns out to be too drying a bit of antibiotic cream could be added after using the pads for a while alone first.  |

Thanks guys, this is all really helpfull. Stridex pads seem to be pretty hard to get hold of in the uk. I can order them form usa but they'll obviously take a wee while to get here  and I want to get a hold on this as quickly as possible! any good alternatives, also any suggestions for good antibacterial creams? |
