Does anyone have folliculitis on the cheeks if buttocks? Im unsure if it is pimples folliculitis and also worried about herpes. It is red scattered pimple like lumps on both cheeks..not many maybe 4 at the most each side..they do bit have fluid or pus that i can tell and at times can be hard to the touch. I have been having baths with tea tree oil and showering twice daily to keep area clean and dry..they seem to hurt more when im sitting..sort of burning. They seem to die down then i cant help checking and feeling and the get sore again. What does this sound like? Any advice would be appreciated. Cant afford doctor right now and feel sick having to show that area...they go for awhile then come back..similar area
