So a few months ago I started dieting and exercising and just lost my 30th pound. I'm 18 and never really got much acne on my arms and back, always my face. Now my face has completely cleared up, but my shoulders are covered. Is it normal to get less acne on your face, but more on your arms when losing weight and gaining muscle?

    Yes yes. Changes in diet and increases in exercise will do this. Eventually they will go away as you keep up the healthy lifestyle. Best free cure is sunshine - will clear up in about 2 weeks with daily sunshine :)

    yes it is normal for that to happen.
    It's your body adjusting to loosing fat.
    If you keep going it will settle down after your body adapts, don't worry it will soon pass!
    And congrats on loosing the weight!!!! keep going strong :D
