heya,
I'm a 23 year old guy, I get spots and blackheads on my upper arms down to my elbows, across the top of my back and shoulders, and sometimes on my thighs and arse... oddly my face is spotless, my complexion is generally clear.
I heard the other day that this could be an indication of lacking certain minerals, anyone know what that could be?
Recently I've bought one of those bath brush things to scrub the skin more effectively. Apart from this is there anything else I can do to reduce their appearance?

I'd suggest going to see a dermatologist. It wouldnt do any harm.
Perhaps I'll mention it to the Dr when I finally get round to registering :chin: can't do any harm like you said!
