What is the best and cheapest way to get rid of acne in the buttocks? I've started using a benzoyl peroxide but I have seen minimal improvement. Also, what is a good product with retinoid and where can I purchase it? All advices are greatly appreciated!

Antibiotic
Although I have been in dermatology for over thirty years I had never heard of butt acne until your question. Lo and behold there is even a web-site devoted to this subject, www.buttacne.org!
Most of us dermatologists would call this folliculitis. It is especially prone to occur in people who spend much of their time seated such as truck drivers, devoted office workers etc. The follicles become trapped, moist and prone to infection.
Benzoyl Peroxide was probably not a bad idea....
