Are you sure it's acne? There is a relatively common condition known as Keratosis Pilaris (which I also have) that is similar looking to acne that occurs almost exclusively on the back of the arms.

It's treatable with lotions that contain Urea.

It seems I have Keratosis Pilaris also. Which lotion do you use to treat it?

Just find anything with a good Urea, Lactic Acid, or Alpha Hydroxy content. Mine isn't really "under control" since I always forget to use the stuff, but once I learned how common it is/how it's not actually acne I stopped worrying as much.

Also, sun exposure/tanning makes it go away too... but of course there's the whole radiation thing.

Here are some lotions you can try:

Lactic-acid lotions (AmLactin, Lac-Hydrin)

Alpha-hydroxy-acid lotions (Glytone, Citrix glycolic body lotion 15%)

Urea creams (Carmol 10, Carmol 20, Carmol 40, Urix 40)

Salicylic-acid lotions (Salex 6%)

Also just use some salycilic acid toner on it after showers before applying the creams.

Be sure to work it into the skin really well 1-2 times per day.

I have this and did know that there was a special lotion. exfoliating and regular lotion has made it 90% better but theres still a bit (especially lately with the dry winter air)...gonna look into this

Take a bath/ shower.
But seriously though, their are a lot of oil free acne washes & soaps. Try as many as it takes.
Good luck --

Awesome thread reps owed,

I have a question (I know pratically nothing when it comes to dermatology):

This happens mostly in thigh region but can happen in Tricep region(basically areas that are mostly covered with clothes)
My hair growth in those regions have a hard time breaking through the skin and causes red bumps or at least tiny red area. In other words ingrown hairs everywhere, anyone have any info?

I heard exfoliation in those areas will help it but it don't think that will solve any core issues and it doesn't seem viable to exfoliate such big areas on the daily(I'm a dood so i probably won't do that)
I'm thinking about my keratin production is FK'd
