Is it normal to get pimples "down there"??

I sweat a lot, and during the summer if I'm sweating for a while, the next day I have pimples on my butt. One time I had them on my labia and was terrified I had herpes or warts. I wear cotton underwear, I shower and change my clothes everyday and try to wear comfortable clothing, but I still get pimples. What can I do? I can't go around naked. Is this normal?

    I get it too. It gets terribly sore I've heard that it's a boil or an ingrown hair

    if it actualy is a pimple go ask a doc not us they have medicine for acne *even down there* and if it isn't a pimple well your at a doctor so he will tell if it is herpes.

    Try using a feminine powder. It will keep the moisture away and soothe your skin.

    Happens to me all the time.

    It's genetic. Your body overproduces keratin. When you hit middle age, you'll start to see it in your upper arms, too (not that big and grody and disgusting and painful, but like little pimples all over the place). The upside to overproducing keratin is that you'll look five to fifteen years younger than you are for your entire adult life. (Seriously. I'm thirty five and the oldest I've ever had anyone guess me to be is about twenty eight.)

    I limp around for a little while until the skin on top thins out, then I pop it and it goes away. No biggie.

    Always, always, always see your doctor just to make absolutely sure, but ten to one that this is nothing.

    Normal.

    I told my mom and we looked it up(she thought it was herpes too)
    It's an ingrown hair it's common in damp places and it says to keep it VERY dry and wear loose underwear and pants(I just wore a dress for a while
    But is it swollen and you REALLY wanna pop it?
