What causes acne on your buttocks?

Answer by  LacyWallace (11)

Washing isn't everything to acne. Although bacteria can cause acne, it's not the only cause. Acne may also be cause by ingrown hairs, causing skin irritation and acne sometimes.

As with acne in all places, including the buttocks, washing is helpful but can not always counteract the problem. Your buttocks may be too dry or too oily regardless of your washing.

Shaving, or excessive sweat under clothing that doesn't breathe. When bacteria and sweat become trapped under clothing, they can form pimples. The solution would be to apply a topical product and some baby powder, and wear "breathable" clothing made of things like cotton.
