I have acne on my...?!
Question:
I have acne on my...?
face (not a lot though..it all mostly cleared out. i used to have a lot when i was in 7th grade), my shoulders, my back, sometimes i get one in my ear (ew it was sick..my right ear always), sometimes on my scalp (feels like a tick, but it wasn't..) and on my thighs..is this normal?? i am 15 btw. i didn't know you got zits on your legs...:/ or EARS.
Answers:
You can get a zit or blemish anywhere a pore can become clogged with dirt and oil so unfortunately anywhere on your body! Keeping your skin clean is the first part of the equation. After you exercise or out in the heat, be sure to get out of your sweaty clothes and take a shower. Dr. Murad has great acne prevention products for the body (including a body wash and a great salicylic acid spray that you can spray upside down and is perfect for your back).
Keep your face clean too, wash off any makeup and pollution from the day before you go to bed. Dr. Murad again has great products for the face and so does Arbonne with Clear Advantage. I would choose salicylic acid washes over benzoil peroxide as the benzoil peroxide can over dry the face.
Good Luck!! :)
