I m a 61 year old male, I shower every day, haven t had acne since my 20 s. I did just get a dog at about the time the pimples started. Hadn t had one before.
Hi Welcome. It need to be examined. It might be folliculitis. But as you have mentioned they occur regularly, we have to rule out diabetes. See physician for examination and further help. Take care
