Are you sure it's rust?
A 4-year-old frame would almost certainly be treated inside with FrameSaver (brand or generic) which is a disgusting mess that often looks like rust.
What kind of frame? Can you find out from the mfr/distributor/bikeshop if it was treated?

Still not enough info.
Internet diagnosis ain't easy.

Absent are comments about flaking or buckling paint on the seat tube. My internet diagnosis sez it's not a rust problem. Then again, you can wait a decade or perhaps two later and tell me I am wrong.
