Hi.
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I have gone through your query.

According to your clinical history you are most probably having a condition called butt acne.It is similar to the acne occurring on the face. The other possiblity is herpes zoster lesions.Other possible causes are also there .A clinical examination might be helpful to make a correct diagnosis.
I suggest you to consult a dermatologist to make a correct diagnosis. You will be better with early diagnosis and treatment.
Wishing you good health.

Regards.
