Question 1

red rash on chest and back. not like acne. what should i put on it?

Accepted Answer

I don't know: Without more information, we can't recommend a specific treatment. You need to see a dermatologist and get a precise diagnosis.

Question 2

i started taking lymecycline and lucette pill two weeks ago, i then came out with acne rash on chest but i'm not sure which one caused it?

Accepted Answer

Rash: Hard to know. You probably have to stop both but give your doctor a call to discuss

Question 3

rash on chest is not frequent,it comes and goes.
the up back of the shoulder has a thin rash/acne/blackheads frequent skin reaction.

Accepted Answer

Vague: The cited symptoms are too vague to provide for much of a response. Skin issues most often require direct observation for assessment. Past history, recent exposures, change in foods or products, etc are relevant. You are welcome to start over with a detailed description of the rash (size,shape,raised/not, color,etc) but this is likely something that will pass or need to be examined.

Question 4

if you have some bump in your chest, what you think its acne?

Accepted Answer

Skin lesions: Well, with the limited description acne can be on the list of things that cause bumps on the chest.  I would recommend having a physician take a look to give you a better answer.

Question 5

i get acne like little and big bumps, mostly skin colored, some red and painfull. they do not itch and come and go. around forehead mostly chest also?

Accepted Answer

Manage it: I'm going to assume this actually is acne. Don't try to figure out the cause, but assume it's unrelated to lifestyle, hygiene or diet. With lesions on your trunk, you'll need a physician's Rx. Start with over-the-counter topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated, maybe 5% 2x/day, and make your appointment. Spironolactone or the oral contraceptive pill may be your first Rx.

Question 6

can i use dovobet for small pimple like bumps all over my abdomen chest and back? i have had follicle problems, and body acne it looks similar to both

Accepted Answer

Not a good idea: It is not a good idea without knowing exactly what you are treating.Devobet is a combination local ointment used for psoriasis and it contains Dexamethasone a strong steroid which may make your rash worse
i will suggest you consult your family doctor or a dermatologist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Question 7

is there such a thing as std related acne? i woke up with these weird red bumps on my chest and they resemble a pimple but don't pop like a pimple?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor. If you did not have chicken pox and did not take vaccination for chicken pox, a rash appearing on the chest can be an early sign of chicken pox.

Question 8

red rash on stomach, chest, arms spread to neck and face. some turned into small white bumps that look like acne. only itch when i get warm.

Accepted Answer

Variety of causes: Depends on how the rash looks and how long you have had it, it can be from many reasons. See your doctor about it.

Question 9

developed a bunch of bumps on my chest. not sure if it's acne but there's no white heads or black heads, just bumps. use sensitive detergent and soap.?

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: There are many possible diagnoses for the above complaint including eruptive vellus hair cysts.  The best approach is to be examined and diagnosed by a dermatologist.
