    Question

    I constantly get "pimples" on my underwear line. What causes this?

    Is it normal to have acne on the scrotum?

    I have acne on my back and on my arms, in addition to my face?


    Answer

    It is perfectly normal - you can have acne anywhere you have skin.

    Wash with antibacterial soap and see your physician if you are still concerned.
