    Default Chest acne?

    I'm not exactly sure if it would be considered more acne or sweat pimples. But I've had these red bumps on my chest between my breasts for WEEKS, even before I went back to dancing. They'll clear up sometimes but they always come back.

    I use a salicylic acid body wash and I keep my chest very clean, use tea tree oil at night, all that stuff. Nothing seems to work! And concealer and powder wear off in no time at all on work with all the sweat and floor/polework I do.

    Anyone else have this problem? How do I remedy it? most of it is hidden in the club lights but you can still see a few of them, that's why I'm worried about it.

    I have the same problem sometimes. And just the same mine go away and come back. It's really super annoying and I can't figure it out either. You do the things you should be doing but still it doesn't work...that is the most annoying.

    The combination of the body wash and the tea tree oil might be overkill- it's possible that your skin is overdry and breaking out due to the overcompensating oil production. Try using something super basic, like castile soap or just dove and see if it rebalances perhaps?

    I know this sounds weird but try selsun blue. If that doesn't work which I think it will you should go to the dermatologist and get a steroid cream.

    ditch the salicylic acid. that shit's the devil. all it does is irritate skin. try oil of olay body wash (just the normal/original one; not the cream oil cuz that shit doesn't rinse off so great.) the anti-aging stuff is actually great for acne/bumps and your skin won't get dried out. plus it's inexpensive
