husky123 0 Posted November 20, 2006 Has anyone had acne on their legs? I have been on two courses of accutane and it has helped clear me up but I have what looks like acne on my legs. It has not gotten any better with accutane so I wasn't sure if it was something else or not. thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WalkTheWire 90 Posted November 20, 2006 Is it on the back of your legs? I've gotten some recently. I'm not sure what they are, though. If you have a good topical, put some on the areas and they should clear up soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Betty-Boop 0 Posted November 20, 2006 No maybe it is from shaving? Try an acne bodywash and let it stay on for a few minutes before rinsing. I just had a funny thought, stupid and all Title of post - Acne on legs. And I thought wouldn;t it be nice if acne had legs it could then just run away.

mellow_yellow 0 Posted November 20, 2006 I'm on Accutane right now, and I don't think I had acne on my legs before I started it... I have it on my thighs and sometimes on my shins. It's so annoying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beentheredonethat 6 Posted November 20, 2006 It's not acne. It's either folliculitis (an infection of the follicle by a bacteria other than P. acnes - usually staph) or a condition called Keratosis Pilaris which is a keratinization disorder related to acne. KP can be controlled with a good body lotion containing AHA, applied faithfully. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
