A member asked:

Hi i was wondering what causes pimple on my bum cheeks like five i noticed it the next day after using public toilets is there any harm to me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: folliculitis, not related to public toilet use, but more to local irritation, perspiration, or oily skin. Seek medical opinion if they persist over one week, because it could be something else.
