I have had acne like bumps on my upper
back / shoulder blades for a few years
now. Within the last few months though,
they have spread onto my mid and lower
back, and also onto my upper chest
(starting below my collar bone).
The closest thing I can describe the bumps
to is acne. They dont itch, and they dont
hurt, and they dissapear / reappear
randomly. They are redish / pinkish, and
vary in size from fairly thin to about the
width of half a penny. Ive been reading
up a little on it, and although im not
sure what they are, I gather that the only
thing I need to do is start using some
type of lotion on the effected areas.
Im a 15 year old male.. Any ideas?

I think it prob. Is acne. Its normal
for guys your age to get acne in that
place. You sweat there.... Just make
sure your cleaning it real well in the
shower. Also try using acne products on
it. (stuff w/ benzyl peroxide, etc.)
keep in mind that anytime you begin to use
a product for the first time your acne may
get worse for the first few weeks. Good
luck. And if your back seems to get dry
from the products you'll want to use
lotion on it. You need to use facial
lotion on it. Not regular body lotion.

This one is keloid for sure. No itch, no
pain, just cosmetically there. And never
really goes away.

I'm a 15 year old girl and I get acne in
the same place, actually! I've tried a
couple products but they never really
work. The stridex that I use on my face
i've just recently tried using it on my
back. It helps a little, but I do need a
better product. :?

What can I say. Stick to soft cotton
clothes. Use as little detergent as
possible. Low heat in the dryer. Keep
your clothes super soft. Avoid
polyester.

Oh! Don’t get upset, I think it is
problem of every second girl next to you.
There are many ways that can help you to
cure the disease but a way that suits you
and is not one of the scams to cure them
should be adopted. It is better to refer
to an online guide
For acne treatment that can make you aware
of the pros and cons of the different ways
and provide you a better solution. This
will help you to balance yourself.
