I'm 17 years old and a male. I haven't had any pimples on my face and I'm starting to get them on my chest. Is this normal?

it's completely normal. this is typically from trapped sweat on your chest. just try to clean your chest as you do your face and try witch hazel, it eliminates oil and works well.
Acutain is too extreme for a few chest blemishes especially if you don;t get them on your face. my sister went on it and shortly after her hair started falling out vvvvvvv

Absolutely. Acne commonly appears not only on the face, but on the neck, back, and chest too. It is easily treated with any sort of acne-fighting body scrub, which is found at most stores.
Also it may be due a product that you use that has irritated your skin. If acne treatment doesn't work, try switching your cleansing products.

Yes. Some people get them on their backs too. At least the pimples are easier to conceal.

Yep. I get them too on occasion. And on my back. I just use a body cleanser made for it. I use Neutragina's Body Cleanser. It's got Salicylic Acid in it to help slough off dead skin and oil so it helps clear up the skin.http://www.neutrogena.com/SosSolution_2.asp?mainVal=so&subVal=11

Any place on the body with pores [pretty much all of it] that has the potential of being clogged by sweat can break out.

yes-- you may get them on your back too-- the secret is keeping your body clean. wash in the morning and night and when ever you sweat a lot. if it is real bad, go to your dermatologist and ask for Acutain.

yeah that is normal at your age. you can get acne anywhere you have skin. all you need is an acne wash and that will do the trick. it is a part of growing up and getting older.
