    Well yes,possibly. Get a medium stiff body brush and lather up the area, giving it a good scrub....but dont overdo it and make it sore. Then dry well and massage some body cream into the area. Doesnt have to be anything special, just one you can buy off the shelf in the supermarket is fine. Do this on alternate days just before bedtime. It should clear but may come back if you dont keep up the lathering and body cream.

    If that pic is just above your buttocks then try to only wear cotton pants and no nylon or lycra.
