Chest acne

[twilight 0]

Every once in awhile I get acne on my breasts toward the upper chest area. Right now I have only one small zit there but I also have lots of tiny pores plugged with sebum. Does anyone else have this type of skin dysfunction? It's like a precursor to actual pimples and it shows me that my skin in that region has a dysfunction that causes too much oil to be produced.

I think once I have taken flax oil for a few weeks these tiny plugged pores will go away but in the meantime I pick the lil bits of sebum out of them. I really think it's an internal problem with my body and it seems to have increased recently.

i have same problem as you, i suffer fom lots of blocked pores across my chest, but don't touch them!! i did this, and it only made things worse, and now i have some pretty bad scars... to the point that i can't wear vests or anything. and i'm still prone to break-outs there.

the only thing i found that helped was using a sunbed once every so often, it seemed to help clear things up a bit... but i wouldn't really recommend this, it isn't exactly the safest way of treating acne and everyone responds differently anyway. i can't use it anymore since i started accutane, i'm hoping it might give me some better results

worst thing bout the acne on my chest is though, i can't seem to cover it up with concealer or anything... no shades of make-up seem to look right, they only make things more noticable... guess i'm just destined to wear high-neck tops forever

the only thing that has ever worked for me is MD FORMULATIONS face wash for oily prolem prone skin. I bought it for my face, but i was usein it on my chest too. It didnt do anything for my face but completely cleared my chest.

kamstan,

where do you get it and how do you use it in the shower (w/your hands or a loofah or what?)

I tried the traditional vinegar method too, but soaking myself with used green tea leaves in a bath helped me as well. Not to mention that drinking helps too.....

I learned that greentea bath thing from my Japanese friend. Try it.

I have never had acne anywhere on my face or body until recently. My chest just became completely inflamed with pustules and white heads. My dermatologist tried several non-acne treatments, thinking that it was something other than acne. Nothing worked and I was very upset about it. Then I decided I could buy proactiv and just use it on my chest instead of my face. It cleared my chest completely and now I use Proactiv daily in the shower on my chest. It works so well. Just to let you know!

Hi - I too experience the 'chest problem' and find myself wearing crew neck tops all the time. The only time it clears up is when i have been on holiday and have a good sun tan. Then a few weeks after I return it's back again. Someone suggested colloidal silver to me, so i bought some today and will let you know how it goes. I am new to this forum, so I apologise if you have already talked about this product.

It gets me down

Hi

i am new to this website and don't know much about this so im sorry if someone has mentioned anything and i repeat it

I have just been told i hav Acne by my local doctor as i have had some spots on my chest area and on the back of my neck for about 6 months now,i have tried everything,clearasil wipes,clearasil 3 day lotion you name it i have tried it! it costs a fortune!

My doctor has given me this roll on with Zinc in it and said use it for 3 months and you might see a improvement,

As i live in the UK when most of the people on here live in the US i was woundering if there would be anything else you can tell me about Acne or any other creams i could use

Many thanks

I used to have chest acne but I'm totally clear now. My derm told me to do the exact same thing I did to my face and back to my chest. So here's what I did:

Morning:

Shower and wash chest, face, and back with Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash.

Dry Off and Apply Klaron (Prescription)

Afternoon:

Take Adoxa (Prescription Antiobiotic)

Evening:

Shower and wash chest, face, and back with Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash.

Dry Off and Apply Differin (Prescription)

i get loads of blocked pores on my chest!!!! like it feel smooth and ok then u look under the light in a certain direction and its ugly!

i also sometimes get whiteheads but not often. i also get patches of eczema! which is quite hard 2 deal with! on the chest and back in the same areas i get spots so i cant use products for acne as theyll irritate the eczema *dilemma* lol

also does anyone get spots in between breasts i really do think its got 2 do with bra irritation! but i cant really test this thoery cause i aint goin au naturel with no bra @ school! lol

[skateVA93.9 0]

well i guess that could be 1 contributing factor, but guys still get spots there

[=kat= 2]
