How do I get rid of arm acne?

Answer by  bubbyboy (9929)

You would treat it like acne anywhere else on your body. Keep the area as clean as possible and put a little acne medication on the spots. Like other acne affected areas, don't squeeze.

You will need to use a scrub everyday in the shower. Try a scrub that is used for acne on your face, like one with apricot pits. You do not need to use one for sensitive skin since your arms can handle more exfoliation that your face. Start with once a day then move up to twice per day.

Easy. The same way as back or face acne. Only because the skin is tougher you can scrub harder or use harsher "chemicals" on it.

The best way to get rid of acne or your arms is to wash daily with soap that has a small amount of salicylic acid in it. Do not scrub the area that has acne or it will irritate it more. You may also want to apply an over the counter acne cream to the acne area.

Certain lotions and soaps can irritate the skin, so finding some that won't hurt your skin would be a good start. There are washes that are good for clearing some kinds of acne, so after you can reduce anything irritating it, that would be something to perhaps clear up the rest of it. A dermatologist would be your best bet.
