A member asked:

So my boyfriend has these really bad zits all over his chest, they've never been popped but remain and discomfort him. what's a remedy to heal them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Serious Rx: I trust this is acne. When it's on the trunk, he'll need topical therapy such as benzoyl peroxide plus some systemic rx from his physician that's prescription-strength. He needs to get seen.
