Avoid sitting for too long and give your bum a breather every now and then
Pimples on buttocks are often caused by wearing tight clothes such as synthetic underwear.
According to a research, they are caused mainly by the condition folliculitis, where irritation, infection or blockage of the hair follicles causes a red, bumpy rash on the skin.

How to get rid of it
Wash your bum regularly (daily) with anti-bacterial soap.
Wear clean clothes to the gym and shower and change right after working out.
Use an ointment or lotion with tea tree oil, which has been proven to have antibacterial properties. Zinc creams (such as Calamine lotion) can also be helpful.
Moisturize regularly—try a lotion with lactic acid in it. It doesn't smell great but will help treat the bacteria causing the bumps.
Wear clean, cotton loose-fitting clothing on your bum whenever possible.
Avoid sitting for too long and give your bum a breather every now and then.
Exfoliate your bum gently once or twice a week. You could use a pad treated with salicylic acid for this. Don't overdo it though—irritation can make the bumps worse.
Stop using heavy lotions or oils on your butt. These could be clogging your pores. Switch up your routine and see if the bumps go away.
Drink more water to help flush toxins out of your body.
Whatever you do, don't pop the pimples! This can make them even more inflamed and lead to spreading infection.
