I haven't had much body acne before but recently i have starting using this protein supp black widow low carb whey [Edited link out]

Once starting using it ive started getting acne on my forearms and the back of my legs. Its gotten pretty bad and i didnt have it before. It's either this product or the fact that i have started volleyball season and the digging of the ball on my forearms is causing the acne there. Thanks guys.

Whey protein has never made me break out more than usual and I drink 60g of it a day. But you could always stop taking it and see if it goes away. I think its from something else especially the location its at.

Go with plant protein instead! Stay away from soy blends though as they reduce testosterone and increase estrogen. I personally use an organic blend of pea protein mixed with berries and almond milk.
