Acne is an inherited disorder of the pores - pores that want to sludge up with dead skin cells much like a clogged drain in your sink. Normal pores shed about one layer of dead skin cells per day inside the pore. The acne-prone pore sheds up to five layers of dead skin cells per day and the body just can't keep up. This forms blackheads or congestion under the skin; and if bacteria are present (which just loves to feed on the dead skin cells and oil) you will get inflamed pimples or pustules.

Moisture is often a cause of pimples, clogged pores. If your toddler has pimples on the buttalks, I would suggest using a anti-bacterial soap on the buttalks only.

In general, the sun will actually do the opposite, making more pimples appear or at least making existing ones more pronounced.

It will often make the pimples much redder and inflamed. The best way to get rid of pimples is to speak to a dermatologist who will either prescribe a prescription acne medication or recommend an over-the-counter treatment. answer: No, actually, if you already have them, it makes red marks, that can hardly desappear.

Do pimples spread?

Pimples sometimes spread a lot quicker if you touch your face a lot. All the oil form your fingertips transfers onto your skin and builds up until you get a blackhead. Sometimes blackheads form pimples. The oil from the pimple then will get on the skin around it. More pimples will come. I suggest you stop picking or touching your face completely and wash your face twice a day with a cleanser.
