Acne on other parts of the body is normal right?

[Brandon639]

Its normal to get acne in other places than just the face, right? I sometimes get it on my shoulder or chest.

[Truth]

Everyone i've met has it, including me ( I have.. one or two though ) So yes, very normal. I have somewhat bad acne on my face, though.

If there's a hair follicle there, you can get acne there.

[rivermaya]

you get them anywhere you have a pore than be blocked by excess oil.

[Spunky]

You whole body has oil glads (or pores what ever you want to call them) over it, that's why you can get a pimple almost anywhere. It's normal for anyone to get this. And remember everone is differnt, some people are going to have pimples and some people don't.

[iceyfresh]

yea its very normal. Ive heard of people geting acne even on the genital area's.

[kevkev]

Yes... if its bad enough you can go to a dermatologist.

[Branman]

Yes, I sometimes get it in the same places

[SurfDudeJason]

dont worry about it...same for everyone

Like everyone elce said, its normal. If its a problem, go see your doctor, they can perscribe percription cream or pils to help lower the sevarity of it. If not, jsut ask your parents to get you some Proactive or some .5% to 1% BENZETHONIUM CHLORIDE cream. It is for the face, but it works well on other areas. Just becareful about your Genital area, that could cause issues. Hope this helps.!

Yes, it's called backne. I had a horrible case of it in 8h grade.

yea its very normal. Ive heard of people geting acne even on the genital area's.

and that is called herpes

Well since acne is caused by sweat and oil buildup, you could get it anywhere.
It's most annoying in your armpits though, because it hurts like hell.


Herpes isn't acne on your dick, I don't think. That wouldn't make sense as acne isn't a bacterial disease (or a disease at all), it can't be so.

shhh, let's see what he says

[WakeyEr]

No, thats not herpes. Herpes looks nothing like Acne. Herpies is BIG red dots with puss and bad infections. They are WAY different. If you shave your pubes, you can sometimes get acne like bumps. I get them sometimes, and I most defently do NOT have herpes.

EDIT**

I just seen what you said.. Thats horrable. Ur going to scare the poor kid. w8 hes 15 NVM LOL it was funny tho. XD

[NMon]

shhh, let's see what he says

I love this post.



Also, those 'bumps' you can get are ingrown hairs. Another downside to shaving pubes. Then again, a downside to shaving in general.
