Acne started on the face and neck, next popped up on the shoulders and waist, now on thighs and buttocks, and even the feet. I suspect the fats being metabolized is releasing some stored up toxins and the lymph system is not keeping up. These odd pimples are popping up EVERYWHERE!!

Sounds like it could be an allergy. Have you ever had it before? When did it start? If it keeps up, see your doctor.4

Are they pimples or little skin tags? Could be irritation from a new detergent or friction from exercise.
Are you showering after workouts or going to bed still dirty?3 -
'Pimples' in odd places actually turned out the be MRSA in my children's case. Wouldn't hurt to bring it up with your physician.8

I agree with seeing a physician about this. This isn't a "stored toxins" thing.15

Yep, make an appointment for a checkup. Could be hives, MRSA, chicken pox, etc.2

I had this start happening when I started working out a lot. I won’t use the gym shower room (if you saw it you would understand why) so I drive 20-30 min home to shower. I did see my doctor because mine is a combination of pimples and painful boils. She said I needed to start showering immediately at the gym rather than wait if I wanted it to stop....I still wait to shower at home but I do usually change my clothes immediately now and it has improved7

You could have picked up a skin infection at the gym. Go have it checked out.

Your body does not have "stored up toxins."
I would check with your doctor or dermatologist if you have one. You're getting spots on places that aren't common for acne, like on the feet. That suggests it might be something other than acne.10 -

See a doctor. You did already have chicken pox or the chicken pox vaccine right? Because that's another option. I didn't have chicken pox until high school and at first I thought it was acne.1 -

Yes, and yes. I'll spare you the details. Look up community-associated MRSA if you want to research it further, though. It can be picked up anywhere, including the gym.1 -

I think that is exactly what I have!
I'm looking up the photos and it seems spot on
Weird pimples, Little craters, Large red hard areas >_<
I haven't been to the gym, I've been doing all at home workouts and the only new thing is a new job -_-2 -

Go to the doctor. I'll be the person to potentially scare you - I have a good friend who almost died of MRSA in his late 20s. You might might be some other condition, but either way, none of us can diagnose it (and we certainly can't treat it).7 -

Go to the doctor, NOW. Not next week, NOW. If you are diagnosed with MRSA, you could give it to your pets and family members. So have them checked out as well.4 -

This. Our whole family had to be treated.2 -
google impetigo. does it look like that? it is highly infectious so no touching others or sharing bedding/towels etc if it looks like that until its ruled out. as an aside, it not uncommon to break out in acne. estrogen is stored in fat cells, so when you lose, you just don't release fat, you release estrogen0

I'll go as soon as I can!0 -
My guess is an infection got into your skin from public (maybe the gym they’re notorious for germs). Maybe look into fungal acne? I’m not entirely sure!0

If you are contagious, waiting is incredibly irresponsible.7 -

If they’re pimples, do you exercise? And if you do, do you sweat a lot? The sweat can make you break out, especially after long workouts. I use Clean and Clear body wash, and a salicylic lotion (benzoyl peroxide is stronger, but can dry out skin and it can take the dye out of clothes).2
