Awkward question.. is it normal that i get acne on my upper-thighs? will it go away with age? it's a lot worse then the acne on my face.

Acne: Acne is typically on the face, back and chest where you sweat most. It is not typical to have it on your leg, so I would suggest you have it looked at by your doctor. There are rashes that look like acne and are not acne.
