Folliculitis, which inflames hair follicles, causes acne-like blemishes on buttocks and legs. Sweaty workouts and sitting can contribute.

Poor diet, perfumed skin creams, tight clothes, and laundry detergent might cause breakouts.
Drinking enough of water and avoiding processed, sugary foods helps your skin fight acne.
