I'm getting whiteheads on my legs. What is this?

I've been getting lots of zits on my LEGS. I even found one on my stomach area and a small one on my arm. What's happening to me? Is it okay to pop them? How do I get rid of them?I'm getting whiteheads on my legs. What is this?
Try seeing a doctor, I'm eating here!I'm getting whiteheads on my legs. What is this?
It could be one of many problems.





You may be allergic to your soap/skincare products. Have you changed shampoos or soaps recently?





It could be razor burn. Perhaps try a different razor or lotion.





If you sweat a lot during the day you may need to shower when you get home from school/work as well as in the morning as you normally do. You should use a ';poof'; and not just the bar of soap or soft washcloth to wash yourself with. It helps to exfoliate your skin so you have less pore blockage.





If all else fails, see a dermatologist.





Good luck!





P.S. people who are ';eating'; like that first guy who answered shouldn't be reading questions in the ';skin conditions'; category. I apologize on his behalf. :P
Have you changed jobs


They are caused by moisture (my husband used to get them)


Just bath like normal, don't pick at them, it will make it worse and you can get in grown hairs ouch.


If you are working in moist conditions, wear clothes to repel moisture (anything with lycra, or wool. Don't ear cotton, it doesn't dry well)


Jeans are really bad for retaining moisture.
This may sound weird, but if you have gotten in a hot tub lately it may be from that. I once got something similar, my doctor told me it was from getting in my hot tub when there was not enough chlorine. I do not quite remember what it was called, but my doctor gave a medicine to take. If you get more worried about it, you should go to your general physician or possibly a dermatologist.
That obviously means your pores aren't clean enough. Popping them isn't good. It just increases the chances in infection. I would go to the dermatologist. They can put you on a prescription such as Minocycline. This will slow your bodies production of oils and such. If you are a teen, than it probably means your going through puberty.
It may be a reaction to shaving because your skin is irritated, which happens quite frequently. Or it could just be body acne, which is normal. See a dermatologist to be sure.
omg! ppl are so obnoxiouse nstupid i dont see y they have to say ridiculous rude things ,,,, anywoo





nah its normal its caused by irritation due to mayeb shaving... if its alot and ur beginging to get worried yeah go to a doc. demetologist
Do you shave? Sometimes ingrown hairs cause whiteheads. I use just face cleaner on the areas where whiteheads pop up, like my legs and arms as well. It's normal, there's nothing wrong :)
Clogged pours, Irritation or Ingrown hairs. If your clothes are too tight in that area sweat can rub against your sking causing irritation.
eww thats kinda gross, whatever you do don't pop em that'll just make it worst. Try some aveeno or oatmeal soap that might help :)
not normal, see a doctor
i dont know i woudl go see your doctore b4 tryin to pop anyof them
