If the spots did not appear when you were born, they probably developed because your skin, like all of your organs, evolves over time, changes as you age.

No if anything it will make it worse try pan oxel and face wash and a dual action cream. And rotate threw the days. Showering every day and using the face wash to clean your skin. Then using one cream for 1 day and the other the next day. Having cream in the morning is good to.
i think it really depends on how bad it is, if its so bad it cant be kept under control i'd say don't do it, I've had eczema since i was a baby and its been bad for months then fine for months its usually easy enough to prevent flare ups by finding triggers and avoiding them.I currently have four and can honestly say eczema affects them, only one is in an area not prone to flare ups and that's undoubtably my best. i have both wrists tattooed and its been hell getting them to heal with my eczema they're still not healed and its been 4 months.I think you can get tattoos with ecsema but you'd be better off getting them in awkward places like your back or stomach.You'll need to look after them longer and be more careful and be prepared for fading if you use a steroid cream.Hope i helped!!
The best thing to do is go to your doctor, they will prescribe you with creams and sometimes tablets that will get rid of the acne in up to 2 weeks. However the acne will become less visible within days of using the prescribed medication.
Does pimples have to do with what you eat?
yes it does, pimples and other acne mostly occur when you eat fatty, or greasy foods.
Another viewpoint:
No, the foods you eat do not cause acne. Pimples are actually tiny bacterial infections, and the white heads are where pus has formed. Dermatologists often prescribe low dose antibiotics for acne, and there are non prescription treatments for acne, as well. The most effective one is ProActive, and has become a very popular product.
Some people (mostly teens) are just more prone to acne than others are, no matter what they eat. There are many siblings who eat the same foods as each other, with one having severe acne and the other having none.
For example, as teens, my sister had severe acne, while I never had it. We lived in the same home, we ate the same foods as each other, used the same brand of soap and skin care products, etc., yet she had a lot of acne and I had none.
The same with my children when they were teens. While my son was plagued with severe acne, my daughter never had problems with it, even though they ate the same foods at meal time, and they both ate the same types of typical teen junk food.

What can cause small red pimples on the torso and leg areas?
That's hard to say without more information, but one possibility is an allergic reaction to a product you may have applied to those areas. Have you used anything different lately? Like detergent when doing laundry, or a lotion that you applied there?
The other possibility is that you may have come into contact with an allergen from a plant.
Another possibility is that you ate something you are allergic to. One common allergy that has similar results is avocado.or it could be peanuts, MSG, or any one of a number of food additives.
