    Annie you may have folliculitis . Get a back brush and lather it up well and give your butt a scrub to loosen any dead skin. The skin in this area can be quite thick. Rinse with cold water and dry well and then use a body lotion, preferably not perfumed to soften the next layer of skin. Something like Aveeno is very good. Do this every day until its clear. then just use the brush once per week. Dont pick at the spots it will make them worse. Dont wear any pants at night and wear 100% cotton knickers and not thongs during the day. Try to wash your underwear at 60 degrees. If this doesnt help you may need medication from your doctor.
