Q. I have acne on my arms, face, back and buttocks. Where do I start?
A. Widespread acne many times can be related to other conditions. For example, there is a condition called keratosis pilaris. This is commonly seen on the arms, upper legs, upper back/chest and buttocks.
This condition is follicular in origin and can be improved but not
cured (it has a genetic tendency). This condition improves with acidic moisturizers. Traditional acne treatments do not help. A good
dermatologist is found by word of mouth. You really need evaluation as to your course of treatment.
