A member asked:

I have out of control acne on my buttocks and sometimes they get so big and painful. nothing seems to work. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dermatologist: See a dermatologist. Large painful acne cysts, particularly on the buttocks, do not respond to over-the-counter treatments. You'll need to get an oral antibiotic, and possibly some other prescriptions, from a dermatologist.
