LM answered Sunday November 18 2007, 4:53 pm: If they're just pimples, use acne wash on them. Either a regular face wash or one specially made for body acne. A back brush will help.
If they're small red dots, it could be Keratosis Pillaris- its common & its not contagious or anything, it's just annoying and itchy. Exfoliate the skin a few times a week, and use a moisturizer, proferably one that contains AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid) and that should help clear it up, or at least make it less noticeable. Retin-A also helps, but that's a prescription you'd have to get from a dermatologist or doctor.
