Boils on Buttocks: Causes, Treatment, and Symptoms - Healthline Boils are skin infections — usually bacterial — that start deep inside the skin and often involve hair follicles. Another name for a boil is a furuncle. Boils usually look like red bumps or lumps on the skin, and over time they fill with pus. They often occur on the buttocks.

Explanation:
Whether you are male or female, spots, pimples, and acne are all down to a sensitivity to the hormone testosterone. This hormone can trigger the overproduction of sebum - an oily substance that waterproofs your hair and skin. When sebum gets trapped, this can lead to a spot forming.
Your skin is like a conveyor belt, constantly renewing itself. As new cells are produced in the lowest layers of your skin (the dermis), old cells are shed from the surface. If some of these dead skin cells happen to block a pore, sebum can build up inside the hair follicle.
Blackheads occur when the blockage is near the surface. The accumulated sebum can react with the oxygen in the air and turns black (a similar process to an apple going brown). The technical term is an 'open comedones.'
Whiteheads occur beneath a layer of skin. This prevents the sebum from reacting with the air and so it stays white. Whiteheads are 'closed comedones.'
Red acne spots are the result of an infection. Trapped sebum provides the ideal breeding ground for bacteria which can multiply and cause an inflamed pustule.
There is no evidence that diet affects acne, as it is caused by the presence of testosterone. This also explains why teens and pregnant women develop acne - both sets of people are subject to hormone imbalances.
