Here are some REALLY good, and very inexpensive ways to treat most acne at home. Try each method (unless you’re allergic to the ingredients) until you find one that works best for you. Good luck =) BTW, I know some of these may sound bizarre but try them…what have you got to lose other than the acne!!
1. Put toothpaste on your acne before going to bed. (Make sure it is paste not gel). It should reduce the swelling of acne noticeably.
2. Dab egg whites on your acne and leave on for 20 minutes or overnight. It’s supposed to pull the infection out of the blemish.
3. Wash acne infected areas twice a day with warm salt water. This reduces oils in the skin and helps to dry the acne up without further agitation.
4. Use ice on acne before going to bed. This works best on pimples that have not yet formed a head. It reduces swelling and helps to prevent scarring.
5. Wash and dab acne with cotton balls that have been soaked in vinegar. Let dry; do not wash off immediately.
6. Place strawberries leaves over your acne and the alkalinity will help to reduce the swelling.

You may not have acne on your arms. I am guessing you have what I do. Since its not acne..acne treatments will not work and not help in anyway. I have been to the doctor. I have also seen a dermatoglist. I forget the exact term for it but its seriously dry skin. Also, your body is over producing keratin, clogging the hair follicles. I was told that it will probably never go away (bad news for me since it bothers me a lot!) but you can help it by exfoliating and putting on lotion everyday.

I would try just using your daily face wash that has acne cleanser in it. Actually, I think Neutragena makes something called body clear that is supposed to help with acne on the body.

Neutrogena Body wash helps expedite the exfoliation process of your skin. I have heard a lot of good things from my friends who have acne on their back.
As a side note, I use it when I tan and it prevents the excessive dry skin look that tanners get.

use really really hot water on them...it will open the pores up...and yes you have pores on your arms...they are everywhere, but some people dont know that,,.and then use a soap like nutrogena to wash them, and rinse with really really cold water. and thru out the day if you get hot or dirty then put hot water on them again and rinse off with cold water, no soap this time though, and then wash with soap again at night!
hope this works! good luck!

i used to have that and wat i did was just wash my arms daily with soap. the secret is to never miss a day and try washing them more often during the day if u get a chance. any old soap will do but i reccomend Dove sensitive skin. just wash them everyday and hopefully they'll clear up. good luck!

Drink lots of water. don't use soap on them for one week, just rinse with cold water. And stop touching them so much!
