Dark skin areas and skin eruptions

Since I was very little I have been having skin problems. I get these weirds bumps with pus on my butt cheeks, my inner thighs, my belly , some times my back ,and at times even under my armpits.  These things that come from my skin are very annoying, there is point in times where am full of them. They can be quite big red hard bumps, and they hurt a lot when trying to pop them. My mom think popping them helps, but these things are way too painful. I don't what my condition is, or what is causing it.... I don't know if it is that I have problems with blood, I don't know. I do know that I want things to disappear.

Another problem that I have , but these has developed through time, is dark skin areass between my legs, my rectum, my armpit, even my private part. I don't if it is because of weight gain, but this quite embarasing. I tried buying creams with Hydroxy to see if helps me, and I hope I can get good results. So far it has helped me a little but not as much. Is it normal to be like this at all? How can you whiten these areas, or at least make them even out with the rest of your skin?

i also get a variety of irritation and bumps around my pantyline, shave lines, inner thighs, buttocks, etc... i try to drain them when poss, and I take baths with salts and benzoin or rhassoul mud which can help deep cleanse the area. when i'm not sore/have open spots, i use salt scrub, and i find that exfoliates the top layers and deeply sterilizes and helps my spots clear up much more quickly. i also use medicated acne face scrub *over the counter* in those areas, which helps treat them some. i use prescription topical zit cream, as well as tea tree oil and other pimple creams. i wish i didnt get them in the first place, but i find that mature men do not have a problem with blemishes, and with proper plan of attack they can clear up quickly. right now i'm trying to find a dark spot treatment to get rid of the scars i have developed over time . i have suffered with this since childhood, also. you are not alone, april!
