How old are you?? There are a number of serious conditions that a rash on the chest or back can be indicative of. You really NEED to have this checked out by a doctor. SOON!!

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

Just tell your mom, she will be understanding. Tell her that you need to go to the dermatologist really badly and he will take care of it. He will give you Bacitracin (an ointment for it to put on at night) and differen (a clear ointment to put on during the day , plus he will give you anti biotics. Also, in the mean time, drink loads of water. Try to wear loose fitting clothes, no jewelry, go to bed topless and with clean sheets every week, no touching the acne, use lever 2000, buy salisaylic acid in the drug store, if you are old enough go tanning, no makeup or lotion on the area, and wash area 3 times a day.

Listen, I use "Proactiv" solution. It is a 3 step process that cures acne and all you have to do is buy the kit wherever they sell it. It will clear up acne quickly. Sometimes just in 1/2 of a week, I see great results. Remember!!!! Don't Wait until the last minute to use it. Use it when you first get it to see how fast it clears you up and plan for your schedule when to use it.
Hope I helped ^_^.

get some raw, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar, mix with water, equal parts, and dab on the acne a few times a day..
tell your mom...she can take you to the health food store, the quart of vinegar is about 5 bucks..

I don't understand why there'd be any problem telling your mom. She's your mom, it's her job to listen to these things. Ask her to take you to a doctor and maybe s/he can prescribe a good skin cream.
