I’ve had problems with acne since the 4th grade..5 years. But I’ve only ever had it on my face; never on my body (or just barely if i ever did).
Last week, I got some pimply-feeling bumps right near the nape of my neck on my back. I used regular body wash on them to try to get them to go away..they never did.
Then, just a few days after that, I realized I had broken out even more on my back and had a little bit on my chest (maybe one or two little bumps).
Sunday night, I took off my shirt to take a shower and saw that I just broke out all over my chest..I think.
They don’t seem like regular zits. They look like..if you ever nick yourself just a little bit with a razor while shaving your legs and it’s not exactly a cut, but just like a few little red bumps (not razorburn either..if that makes sense, it’s just like a really light cut that doesn’t even bleed).
Also they itch when they’re exposed to cold air. I think I may have quite a few on my back as well, mainly the lower shoulder blades..I haven’t broken out on my lower back at all.
Recently, I did switch to the Clinique 4-step skincare sample set, but that’s only for my face..and two weeks ago I started using the Herbal Essences anti-frizz shampoo for the first time, but I’ve been using the straightening kind of that same brand for months now.
The body wash I use is this Dove "beauty body wash, go fresh, energize"; the shaving cream that I use is Skintimate aromatherapy (but that doesn’t really go on my chest, just on my armpits).
I can’t think of anything that might’ve caused it, either..I just put down the products I use in the shower (except Clinique) in case anyone’s heard about any of them causing weird body acne.
Any help? Does anyone know what this is, or more importantly, how I can get rid of it?
Sounds kind of like a skin disease. Maybe you should get it checked out by a doctor or something?
