Hi there, It's really important if you're having sex to be screened for STD's and to have your partner screened. You don't need to be scared to go to the doctor, they should know about this if it continues to bother you. You can get pimples anywhere that you have pores-so pretty much your entire body! If it looks like a pimple and it pops, it's probably a pimple. Also, birth control can help clear up acne a lot!! Talk to your doc or Planned Parenthood (1-800 230 PLAN) about getting on some birth control!

Take care, Maggie
