pimple on lower butt tocks

by FREAKED86, Jun 30, 2008 07:21PM
It's probably nothing but it still worries me. I got a pimple on my lower buttocks i was actually able to pop it just like a normal pimple. I just want to make sure is there a possibility of it being herpes? I havent had intercorse with any one that has herpes and now that i think about it this seems kinda pontless but i would rather know that it's just a pimple then any thing els. So I guess my question is why would any one get a pimple on their lower buttocks? by that i mean like right on the curving of my butt.

Pimples on the buttocks are very common.  I suggest you leave it alone and let it take care of itself.  If it's still there next time you go, show it to a doctor.

Take care.
