A member asked:

I have pimples on my thighs and buttocks. antibiotics and acne cleansers and cremes don't have any lasting effect. is there anything i can do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May need antibiotics: Rashes are difficult to describe in words. If a person has recurrent pimples on places where regular acne doesn't occur, he likely has infection in skin glands and/or hair follicles. A primary care doctor or a dermatologist can look at the skin and make a diagnosis. The doctors can prescribe oral antibiotics or creams/ointments as needed. Sometimes the bacteria are resistant to antibiotics.
