Skinny Ink MemberMember0(@skinnyink) Posted : 09/04/2016 11:06 pm I was wondering if this is acne or pityrosporum folliculitis? My face is 100% clear and last month my chest was not like this. It recently just turned like that. Quote Miss Sac 17 MemberMember90(@misssac17) Posted : 09/05/2016 7:31 am What have you done differently the last month? New soap powder? Sweating more? Saunas? Steam rooms?How's your diet? Has it changed the last month?I'd say it doesn't look like acne at all, could definitely be pityrosporum. Quote Tretinoin MemberMember256(@tretinoin) Posted : 09/06/2016 7:01 am Definitely looks like folliculitis. Don't take my word for it though, get it checked by a derm.Personally I got spots like those when I wore tight shirts to the gym. The constant rubbing and trapping of sweat caused a similar outbreak.
