Common Questions and Answers about Chest acne rash

chest

Avatar f tn About a year ago, I developed a RASH on my chest that is similar looking to acne in that it has red spots with tiny, very superficial white heads. Since this was the first rash breakout I mistook it for acne and used an acne spot treatment (benzyl peroxide 2.5%) The next morning my skin was itchy and extremely irritated, and I realized it was a rash and not pimples and the benzyl peroxide irritated it a lot. I then used calamine and benedryl topical lotion with little results.
Avatar n tn I have been suffering from a peculiar rash on my upper chest for about a year and a half. Initially i thought it was acne (as i had suffered from this on my face), however it looks more like a rash, almost like hives in apperance, and does not respond to acne medication. It is made up of several red bumps about 1mm in length. They occur prodominatly on my chest. I went to the doctor when i first got this problem and was prescribed some antibiotics and some aqeous cream.

Avatar n tn I have an itchy acne like rash on my chest. The rash is made up of acne like sores on the hair follicles, but unlike acne, they itch, and they are generally small without an acne like whitehead. When squezzed there is only a little puss and blood. The rash is generally confined to one small area, although it seems to have spread a bit lately. I first tried treating it by cleansing the area and putting some mild cortisone cream on it.
Avatar n tn approximately 5 weeks after a potential hiv exposure i had a dozen or so spots, acne like appear on my chest. i have not broken out in acne for many years and given so many appeared at once i was wondering if this could be HIV related rash? I picked and squeezed alot of them due stress and now it looks terrible. I have since gone for HIV testing and am waiting the results, could i get a false negative if this was HIV (does the rash signify the window period is closed?
Avatar f tn isotretinoin also known as Accutane, can be prescribed by a doctor, or contraceptive pills with cyproterone for females with virilization or drospirenone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acne_vulgaris#Treatments Let us know about how you are doing and what your doctor advises.

Avatar f tn Over night the rash turned into very tiny acne like bumps, and within hours those bumps developed even smaller heads on them. When I itch them the head pops, never bleeds and it seeps and crusts over and starts to heal. These bumps have since started to spread up my neck and across my chin and now up the sides of my face and onto my forehead -- all the places I applied the sun screen, but I also applied it on other exposed areas that didn't get the rash.
Avatar m tn Hi, I still have red acne and rash on chest, Can any one help me, it's been 6 weeks, Will HIV symptoms occur at 6 week ?
Avatar f tn My side effects from vitamin B12 injections (4 injections in 4 weeks) was a 4 month acne rash on my face, chest and belly, and i also had 3 days of extreme shortness of breath. Every once in a while i get a slight pain in the arm where i had the vitamin B12 injections years ago. My skin has never been the same since the acne incident and i have plenty of blackheads over my chest and belly that i never suffered with until those 4 injections.
Avatar f tn Hi, I recently had unprotected sex with a person who was younger than me. He had some back "acne" that was very noticable and some on the front of his chest that were much larger than acne. He said it was from adult chicken pox? He also had an enlarged lymph node on his neck. He is going to good school in the United States from out of the country and I'm very worried.
Avatar m tn Hi all, recently I am having some rash on my chest and body. Before this, one month ago I have two encounter anal sex with someone at a dufferet time and both I was wearing a condom. The first one I ejaculate out of the body. The second one I ejaculate inside with a condom. I was afraid it may leak out from the outer barrier. And I have recieve unprotected oral sex too. I am now taking doxycycline which was for my acne and I want to know if it will cure syphilis if touch wood I got it.
971443 tn?1282560078 About two months ago I had what I thought were acne on my chest, at first there were only a couple of them, but after a day or two they spread all over my chest. They are very itchy and it seems that when I scratch them they get inflamed and red. Since I`m in the process of moving, I am yet to go choose my new doctor, so I went to a pharmacist and she gave me a corticosteroid cream after looking at my condition. The cream helped, but only for a short time, after which it became worse.
Avatar m tn it has been almost a year and I am experiencing skin problems and acne... developed rash like skin on my chest and skin looks like it is getting worse but rash comes and goes... developing more acne than usual and acne look bigger than normal and kind of a darker color than red that goes down in size but still looks red or darker....very scared...never has skin problems in high school but developing now...had eczema as a child but this doesn't look like it or I don't think so...
Avatar m tn Avoid any kind of cosmetics. You can also use antibiotic cream like Neosporin or Bactroban on the rash. If the rash persists then get it evaluated from a dermatologist. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar m tn In June I met this guy I was the top (safe) and did everything else. Two weeks later I break out in a rash, back chest upper arms and face. From photos on the net and from my Dr. Diagnosis, it's folliculitis. I didn't ask to be tested for HIV, because I've been scared to know. However it's been 3 months and I'm still breaking out in what is not acne. Your thoughts on whether I've contracted something from my descriptions.
Avatar n tn Hello. Every year during the cold season I seem to get little red acne like spots on my chest and thighs. I don't think it's acne and maybe thought it was folliculitis because most of the bumps on my thighs occur where there's hair. However on my chest I don't have much hair at all and get the same thing. It doesn't go away very quickly, but seems to fade after a few months every time.
Avatar m tn I accidentally had protected anal sex and unprotected oral sex with a transgender sex worker 19 days ago.10 days ago I aquired a painful acne like red bump under my right eye, then later a smaller one on my left wrist, then later one on my left shoulder. They have been itchy, but are currently going away. Neosporin seemed to work on the lesion under my eye. None of them were close to each other. Does this seem like an ARS rash? I am quite worried, just like most others on this forum.
Avatar n tn I woke up this morning with my upper chest, neck and shoulders covered in a rash. This rash consists of small red bumps, the size of little pimples- but they are not whiteheads. They do not itch nor do they hurt. I am not sure what has caused this or what I should do to counter the outbreak. I have no history of body acne or really any acne for that matter. I am a 28 year old, healthy female.
Avatar n tn More of them. They are located only on my chest area. One of my friends also has the same rash on his chest which is weird. I don't know if it's something contagious. I don't think so because my girlfriend is fine and has been around me all the time, she has even touched my rash. Anyway it would be really appreciated if someone could enlighten me! Thank you so much for your time.
Avatar n tn About two weeks into this pregnancy I broke out like big time all down my chest and arms my entire face and neck. It gotten a little better with switching face washes and other than my face and neck I'm almost clear but...now it itches like crazy and when I itch it gets worse! Anybody else have itchy acne and how did you treat it?
7381903 tn?1391464888 So I to my 5 week old to the ER two days ago because she has hundreds of little bumps on her forehead , cheeks , ears and behind them & now it's spreading to her body . The doctor said its neonatal acne aka baby acne aka Melia Has any one baby gone threw this !? I STILL don't think it's normal for the bumps to travel to her chest back legs and arms and look like a rash or break out. Do you think I should see another doc abt this ?
Avatar n tn For how long have you noted these? Acne usually affect the chest, back and of course the face, however, it is important to rule out other skin conditions here. I suggest that you have your linens and clothes checked. Also, if other triggers such as prolonged sun exposure, dust and certain food may be associated with this, then it is best to avoid these also. Rosacea may also be considered especially if the rash appears red and the skin appears thick.
Avatar f tn Last 5-6 days i have many red spots mainly on chest. They look like acne and they cause some itch when i touch them. Some of them have pus. Also my rest body isnt smooth. When i touch it is anaglyf. This days i feel warm at times and in spots and i ve fever cause my temperature is 36.8 to 37.4. Last, i feel from time to time like been stingled all over my body.

393165 tn?1420760445 Hi, I have in the last couple of days broke out in spots all over the top of my chest, a little bit also on my back. They are as itchy as hell and feel like spots/acne but are sore as well as ithy if that makes any sense. I am 35yrs old and have never really suffered with acne when I was younger.

Avatar m tn Hi. I'm 28 years old and have had bad acne since the age of 14. In the back of my head since I was 14 I always thought I was born with Herpes. All my derm doctors over the years have laughed at me and said I don't have Herpes. I get cystic acne on my neck, behind my ears and now I have one on the front of my leg. Also I had one on my lower belly a year ago, yet the red mark from it is still there.
Avatar n tn I am an african woman who has suffered from acne since my teens and for years my dermatologist had prescribed a compound with 4%hydroquinone with other stuff. For the past three years I noticed my facial skin tone is much more darker (with a blueish underlying tone) than my chest and hands and it bothers me because I've always had an even tone overall (with the exception of when I breakout and get the acne dark marks). I received a second opinion and my new dr.
