How do I get rid of the acne on my arms?

It’s not sooo terrible but it is definitely noticeable. I have alot of small ones and 2 or 3 big pimples on my arms. It’s a bit embarrassing for me to go swimming and take my shirt off. And when I go swimming, they get even more inflamed. I have a great body so it’s a shame that i dont go to the beach cuz of my arm acne. How do I get rid of it and prevent it from coming back?

  1. There is no known cure for Acne and in spite of what others say, there is no known cause – just unsubstantiated opinions based on what may or may not have worked on the particular individual. They may mean well but the reality is that there is no medical evidence to support the contention that diet plays any part whatsoever.

    Acne on your arms develops as a result of blocked hair follicles. Our bodies produce Sebum – an oil that is necessary for the protection of our skin. When hair follicles get blocked, the Sebum can’t get to the surface of the skin. We not only shed our skin regularly on the outside – we shed it on the inside as well. Sometimes, these dead skin cells block the hair follicle, leading to pimples and varying degrees of Acne.

    I suggest you buy a product called Tamanu Butter from Volcanic Earth. It is made using a fantastic oil called Tamanu Oil (made from the nuts of the tree by the same name), Virgin Coconut Oil and Cocoa Butter.

    It is not only likely to clear up the pimples/acne on your arms but help to give you a little extra tan – plus it is completely natural with zero chemicals unlike products such as Proactiv!

    You’ll be showing off that great body of yours ina bikini and driving the boys wild in no time!

  2. First off if your consuming a lot of sugar that will cause it. If you drink energy drinks or consume sweets you are promoting the acne. If you drink nothing but water for a while and stay away from all sweets, it will clear up. If you are not consuming a lot of sugars see a doctor. He/she can help. Make sure also to keep your body clean and free from excess oils.

  3. sandpaper will help rid you of your acne and will leave you with smooth skin.

    make sure to change from coarse to fine sandpaper to ensure a smoother finish

  4. you probably have chicken skin, its what I have too and alot of people. If you go to a dermatologist they will give you a moistureizer prescribes by them that you usin in the shower that will work

  5. I felt the exact same way as you do by having a great body and it being annoying not going to the beach cuz of stupid arm acne. Well, I personally found a cure when my dad used Selson Blue to treat a disease of the skin (caused by inflammation) called Tinea Versicolor. It cured him of this and then I reasoned that if it cured inflammation, then it might cure my arm acne. So I tried it for several weeks, and it worked! It cured my back and arm acne!!! This may sound a little hard to believe because Selson Blue is used on the scalp to treat Dandruff. But rest assured that Selson Blue contains an ingredient called Selenium Sulfide (1%) which gets rid of inflammation. (Dandruff is an inflamed skin problem.)

    Just lightly rub some of the shampoo on your arms and back and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then wash it off.
    I hope this works for you as it does for me!!!

  6. try and stay off junk foods and processed foods for a while and drink lots of water,these are simple , yet but effective natural treatments without the use of drugs.
    Aslo try and eat a lot of fruits-water melons,pinweapple and paw paw, these help to flush toxins that cause acne out of your system.do some research online on alternative home remedies to acne treatment.

  7. it might not be acne it could possibly be egzima i would go see a dermotogist

  8. There is this new popular cream that people have been talking about.

    It was even televised on TV.

    It prevents future and existing acne, diminishes scars, and lightens skin and blemishes. Fast results too! (It’s been claimed that major results can be seen within a week and no later than two weeks)

    Before and After photos are available at the given ebay site.

    This person is providing 1-3 week trial samples (Only for ONE DOLLAR.. definitely a deal) on ebay at:

    Search up "Cee En’s Acne Solution" or "best acne solution ever" on ebay.

    First 100 customers can get the item for $1 for one week trial and up to 3 weeks. Or you can purchase 1 month supply for $40 or 6 month supply for $160

    It’s expensive, but the product DOES work.

    My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.

    I don’t have a problem with acne, but it seems to have great results on my sister who has moderate to severe acne. Her acne swelling went away overnight.

    I hope this helps. =)

    I personally recommend cutting dairy out of your diet completely that includes milk, ice cream, yoghurt, cream etc This is because you drink the hormones in milk which come from a pregnant cow which means you may be getting an overdose of these hormones which are then producing pimples/acne. Some peoples bodies can tolerate while others cant.
    Secondly, 2-3 times a week squeeze fresh lemon and put it directly on your skin. Let it dry for at least 20mins then wash it off with warm water. It will sting but it will leave your skin soft and fresh it will also help get rid of scarring over time. There is no FAST treatment but try these and i guarantee you will see results in at least 2 weeks.

    I have dealt with acne for 5 years these were the only two treatments that worked after MANY MANY trial and errors.
    GOOD LUCK!

    Treat your arms the way you’d treat your face. This guide explains what to do, and there’s no expensive stuff to buy. It’s all stuff you can buy from Walmart or Drugstores: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/904307/keep_your_acne_from_taking_over_your.html?cat=69

    If you follow the instructions for two weeks and the acne doesn’t go away, see a doctor. It may not be acne.
