I have acne-like spots and bumps on my upper arm and shoulders, which are actually a lot smaller than usual acne on the face. It's not a concern as I've had this since my teenage years -- so many years now --, but I'm curious as to what it is and if there's anything I can do to make it go away. No one else in my family has this.

It sounds like it could be keratosis pilaris. I have them on my upper arms, and on my hips too.

I've read that exfoliating helps, but it just aggravates mine more.

Wow, that definitely looks like the skin condition I have. Thanks!
