Ok, I have acne on my face. Now that's not my question, so stay tuned. I have never had acne on my body. I was always thankful for that, because I know people who do. But all the sudden I have gotten really big, throbing pimples all over my upper chest and shoulders!!!! So wierd, what do i do? Has anyone ever had these problems just accuring like this before?

Yes, that's happening to me right now. The best thing I've found is using soap to wash, then an astringent/toner, and putting some blackhead clearer on it. Trying to scratch the bumps off does NOT help, or using a scrub, that doesn't work either, it just makes it worse. Mine aren't big or throbbing, I've only had 2 on my back but mostly they are just white heads that you can't even see but you can definitely feel. But I know the chest is a very sensitive area so you don't want to make it irritated.

Ughhh, I don't have acne but I get pimples on my face/back/upper chest regularily. It sucks.
But about 2 weeks ago I started on this face cleaning stuff and I use the 3-step cleansers every nite and its really clearing up. Yippee!!

Sounds like cystic acne. Cystic acne are pimples that are so deep you couldn't pop them if you tried. They hurt and become red and swollen. If you have these, they may just be hormonal, but if you have a lot of them, go to a dermatologist before it gets bad. They can cause huge scars!!! P.S. Don't try to pop them, it won't work and you will make them bigger.

ITS NO BIGGIE! IT JUST MEANS THERE IS OIL BUILDING UP ON YOUR BODY. IT USUALLY HAPPENS ON HOTTER DAYS. WASH DAILY BUT DON'T SCRATCH THEM OPEN, THAT WILL ONLY RESULT IN CLOTS OR YOUR CHEST OR SHOULDERS.
