What Causes Pimple Like Boils And Inflamed Area On Buttocks?

Dermatofibroma
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM..
I read history and studied photo you posted. I feel that most probably you may be having dermatofibroma.
I does not seem to be molluscum contagiosum, your doubt is right.
Dermatofibroma is a benign small hard skin tumor caused in response to reaction to trauma such as insect bite. Mostly it occurs on lower extremity. The skin surface may be smooth. The color may vary from pink red to brown. It is usually asymptomatic, but may be itchy or tender. Pinching the lesion might cause dimple on the surface..dimple sign.
Skin biopy might confirm the diagnosis. For that you consult dermatologist personally.
As it is benign and harmless, treatment is not required. It may be kept untreated.
If there is cosmetic disability, you may go for treatment. Elliptical excision or punch biopsy gives best result. Laser therapy is also used to treat dermatofibroma.
I hope you may be satisfied with my answer... If there is any query still, you may ask.
Thanks.
Have healthy life.
