A member asked:
Why is it that pimples appear mostly on the face for most people?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gland location: The sebaceous glands that are the prominent factor in acne are most densely located on the face & sometimes the shoulders. It is the acceleration of sebum output from these glands under hormonal influence that initiates the sequence leading to acne.
