6yo spots on bottom

The other day DS told me that had a a few spots on his bum and they'd been there "for a while". Can't have been more than a day or two though. He says they aren't really sore or itchy but they can't be very comfortable.

He did have hand foot and mouth the week before and I know that sometimes the rash can show up on the groin and bottom area. The only thing is that the rash cleared up on his hands and feet about a week before these spots showed up. Could it just be a delayed thing? Or maybe a hygiene issue? Or even a wee hormonal fluctuation as he's had a couple of acne-like spots on his face recently?

contagiosum molluscum?

I don't think that it is. I've looked at pictures of that online and the spots on his bottom look more like acne?
