Why do people get pimples only in certain places?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genetics: It depends on genetics, hormones, stress, sun damage, and lack of sleep. Protect your skin and keep it clean especially after sports or workouts when you sweat . The anatomy of the inflamed oil glands contributes to the distribution being either in the t zone, contouring of the face, chest or back.
