Sounds like you have acne, or sebaceous cysts.  In any case, definitely not at STD.  See a health care provider.

Hey that sounds a lot like what I have, it's also on my butt and the back of my arms, I think it's called keratosis, and something like 70% of people have it, I'm sure the Doc will give you proper answer but those sure do stink when I pop them too! :)
