Question Posted Sunday September 16 2007, 12:44 am
I have these weird, redish colored bumps on my chest. At first I just thought it was acne, so I medicated it like I would if I had any zits on my face (masks, astringent etc), but it didn't work. The bumps only got bigger, and they won't go away. I've tried popping them, but when I do it really, really hurts. Every time I succeed in popping one it just gets redder and swells up and hurts. They look like zits but they're harder and once again don't go away. SO my question is, is this acne?
Should I go see a dermitoligist?
What else could it be?
It's really annoying and unattractive so I really want a solution. Thanks!

Weather it is acne or not, they can give you something to treat it and make the bumps heal up and go away.

Depending On Where It Is.
You Said Your Chest.. But Where On Your Chest?
Some People Get Acne On Their Back So Its Not Only For Your Face It Is Just A Common Place To Get It.
Yes I Think You Should Go To The Dermitoligist.
It Could Be Something Worse Than Acne ( not trying to scare you ) And You Are Better Safe Than Sorry. :]
