Unless you have severe, widespread, and scarring acne, The Regimen is normally my suggestion for the most effective acne treatment.

K this is really embarrassing but I'm wondering what would cause a sudden outbreak of butt acne...lol. I've never had a problem with acne in this area at all until recently (a few months ago) and have had acne for almost 17 years now. I read online that accutane can cause this.

 

I've also just recently started birthcontrol again so I'm not sure if it could be that. All I know is that I hate it!!! It's so annoying.

 

They tend to be rather deep and painful and take a long time to go away.

 

Can anyone shed some light please :)

 

Thanks and no jokes please.

Believe it or not the problem for me was my chair, basically it was a really hard and uncomfortable and I'd sit on it for hours at a time.

 

I think since accutane makes your skin so sensitive, even sitting on a hard chair can bring about butt acne lol.

I had the same problem and it went on for months. It just came out of the blue one day and vanished just as mysteriously as it came. Try exfoliating and using a body wash with salicylic acid. Good luck. :)

Hello everyone!
Thank you for sharing your experiences. The things you guys wrote years ago are helping a lot of people.
It's 2014 and I'm very very sad because of the same problem: I'm taking Accutane(3rd month) and im getting butt "acne". Please can you help me? Did you remember the name of the medication your doctor gave you?
Hector.
