When acne forms on the butt, it’s because of folliculitis. Folliculitis is usually caused when the Staphylococcus aureus, or staph bacteria, infects a hair follicle. Normally staph bacteria live on your skin without causing problems, but when they get inside through a break in the skin, it results in infection. Why is my bottom spotty? Spots on your buttocks are quite common, and usually caused by a skin condition known as folliculitis which occurs due to irritation, infection or blockage of the hair follicles. It can look like a bumpy rash and occur equally in men and women.
The pimples that show up on the butt are most likely folliculitis or keratosis pilaris. Keratosis pilaris is a harmless skin condition. It’s the result of a buildup of keratin—a hard skin protein—that blocks the hair follicle, this involves the infundibulum or pore that includes the hair shaft, sweat glands and oil glands. It causes small bumps that can look like acne.
