What Is Causing White Heads On Upper Arm?
I had a hiv scare about 3 years ago. I got tested at the 90days mark, the test came back false-positive and I was tested again, this time the result was negative. The doctor said I have nothing to worry about, however I have since experienced breakouts of whiteheads over my upper arms only. Could this be a symptom, I m beyond stressed.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
White heads on upper arm suggest truncal acne. You can apply Clindamycin cream combined with Adapalene at night and wash after 2 hours. Please wash the cream after 2 hours and do not keep for longer time. If you do not get any improvement in 2 weeks, do consult your Dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
