I tried to do a Google search, but didn't find much..
16/f
I get these small red bumps on the bottom of my butt, near the back of my thighs. They kind of seem like razor bumps, but i rarely shave that close to my butt. I usually always wear thongs, so I don't think they would be from my underwear. I've been putting lotion on them, which sometimes makes them go away, but they always come back.
What is this? And how can i get rid of them?
Thanks!

Flange answered Wednesday June 10 2009, 4:58 am: The skin below your buttocks is generally a lot more sensitive to other areas as it is less exposed (I would assume?) than your arms, lower legs and other extremeties. You are more than likely having a reaction to the detergent in your clothing which reacts with sweat. It is very common and I would suggest you try changing the detergent used for washing your clothes to something milder like baby care detergents. You can use an over the counter antihistemine cream for the 'rash' which will clear in a couple of days. I doubt you have an STD as these will result in a more localised irritation of the genitals or mouth so don't freak out with the other answer and if you are concerned and you have good reason to be then get your GP to check it out.

1. STDs, have you been sexually active? Or does your parents have STDs?
2. Pimples?
3. An allergic rash to your cloth material?
If it's allergies, see if wearing something different helps. This could also be and allergic reaction to something you've eaten, but i kinda doubt that. If it pimples, get a cream from your doctors. If it STDs then, nothing really. My advice, see a doctor about it immediately. [ j-san's advice column | Ask j-san A Question ]
