I've got some marks onmy upperbody. its itchy and filled with dead skin. i believe its acne body mark. it's increasing day by day. is it acne marks?

Probably not acne.: It is difficult to evaluate a skin condition without examining the patient. I don't think, however, that what you are describing is acne "marks". If it itches, it's probably ringworm, pityriasis alba, or even urticaria. See a physician for appropriate diagnosis.
