Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of black spots on buttocks which seems to be due to improper cleanliness of area, due to hair follicle infection by bacteria, clogging of skin pores and due to fungal infection. Need not to worry. You should avoid sharing your clothes with anyone else. I would suggest you to maintain cleanliness of area and keep it dry. You should apply topical antibacterial ointment mupirocin on it. Take oral antibiotic course as well. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription. You should take complete antibiotic course. Avoid touching or pricking it. Wear loose clothes.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
