Maybe TMI, but gotta ask

Hey there all,
I was just wondering about the location of everyone's acne. As a teen, I had acne on my face, expecially during my period. Now a days, I have very little on my face, but seem to have it EVERYWHERE else. Arms, back, thighs, even buns. It is soooo gross and painful. So far, have not done much for it. Thanks for any input.

Mine has always been all over my arms and back. A few other places, but my arms and back are the worst. Nothing has ever helped except during the summer if I get tanned they seem to get better.

Welcome to my world! LOL. I have them badly on my legs, inner thighs, vaginal area, bum, and armpits. As well as on my neck and face. Have you tried Spironolactone? It's helped my acne and a lot of cysters who have acne with PCOS.

I have not tried any treatments really, mostly just deal with it. Thanks for the tip. I met with endo the first time last week, he wants me to see gyn and try to get preg before he treats me. I will talk with him after that happens or whenever I go back to him.
