Q: acne treatment ?

Hi,

Apporx two months ago I started to develop what appears to be small red pimples on my abdomen. I visited my GP who said it was acne, I was prescribed Oxytetracycline and told to regularly use E45 cream. I have been doing this for nearly a month now but the pimples still remain. i just want some advice on whether or not this is acne?



in addition I have these small pimples and the tops of both my arms!!

Anyone help?

Have you ruled out celiac disease? It is often overlooked.
