I have gotten these red boil-like bumps just on the skin of my buttock. These bumps are very painful and most of the time end up bleeding before they will get better. i have seen an OBGYN to confirm that this is none other than a skin problem, and she said it is very hard to get rid of and more common than i think. I have been told that a year on antibiotics are only going to possibly treat, but that isn't even definate. I have scars from these occuring over the years since about 13 years old. What might help prevent this.
