I have a group of acne-like pimples on my left forearm. Ten of them in a 6 x 3 inch area. They ve been there for more than a week. As one goes away, another pops up. 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
