Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pimples on back, leg , thigh and calves which occur because skin has increased sensitivity of getting pigmented and it is due to abundance of sebaceous glands in these areas. I would suggest you to wash these areas daily with cold water and body wash containing salycylic acid twice a day and apply cream containing azelac acid which is good for pimples. If condition doesn't get well in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like minocyclin, steroid ointment and may recommend chemical peeling for marks.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
