See dermatologist/FP: If you have already seen your family doctor, please see a dermatologist. There may be other treatments. I would enjoy the challenge of treating you if you were in my area. Often acne medicines need to be taken for prolonged periods of time. An antibacterial soap is also a good idea. Lotions and gels can help too with a prescription. Good luck and happy healing.

ACNE ON BUTT: HAVE YOU SEEN A DERMATOLOGIST? DOES THE ACNE GET WORSE BEFORE YOUR PERIODS? DO YOU EAT NUTS, PEANUT BUTTER, CHOCOLATE AND DAIRY PRODUCTS? STOP THESE FOODS FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND SEE IF THAT HELPS TO REDUCE YOUR BREAKOUTS. BEST LUCK.
