Question :I have a bit of an embarrassing question that I'd rather not go to the doctor with. I often suffer from pimples on my buttocks. I am ashamed of it and I also find it annoying to enter into a relationship because at some point you have to expose the proverbial buttocks. What can I do about those pimples? M.G., WEERT
Dermatologist Jacqueline Vink: “These are folliculitides, or inflamed hair follicles. They sometimes arise spontaneously, but also, for example, after wearing a wet bathing suit. What works well is Eryacne gel or Inderm lotion, both of which are prescription only. So you will still have to see your doctor. I also advise you to wear as little tight clothing as possible and to always choose cotton underwear.'
