The face is usually the location where acne manifests. However, it can surface in other parts of your body as well. There are some cases of acne surfacing at the buttocks but the most likely locations aside from the face are the neck, chest and back.

What treatment is best for you? There are many to choose from but your dermatologist can give you the best kind of treatment suited for your skin and the type of acne scar you have. One kind of treatment may suit one person but that same treatment may not work well for another person.
