Ok, I know this is kind of gross but it's a serious question.
I keep breaking out between my boobs, and I don't know why. I tried using facial cleanser on the area, and it just made it really dry. Also, I bought some ClearSkin body wash supposedly for this issue but it did nothing.
Could this be because I am somewhat busty and my boobs are frequently pushed together causing me to sweat in that area more than usual?
I want to know ways to make it go away and how to prevent it from happening. I am tired of putting concealer on my chest. lol

Its not gross! Alot of women get that.
Get some cleansing cloths with acne medicine in it .. like Biores: http://www.biore.com/usa/products/productInfo.asp?productId=8
Wash with it in the morning and at night on where you are breaking on. DONT wear a bra to bed .. and make sure you have the right size!
You can also swipe some toner on problem areas: http://www.biore.com/usa/products/productInfo.asp?productId=5
I use my biore toner for when I break out on my arms. Yep .. I do LOL Not alot .. but sometimes I get a few zits there .. and its gross too. No worries!
Make sure to always wash your 'boob area' .. even if you dont plan on showering until the morning. I wash my hair every other day .. but I still get in the shower, put my hair in a bun so it cant get wet .. and wash my body. So make sure you do that!
Hope that helps!

If your breasts are pressed together, you might consider getting a better-fitting bra. You're right - the breakouts are probably caused by extra friction and moisture in that area.
The rule of thumb is to treat your neck and chest the same way you treat your face - whatever products work on your face will work on those areas as well. Try not to overdry or irritate the skin. Choose products that are gentle - a mild soap that won't strip moisture and an exfoliating toner to keep pores unclogged. I'd recommend DHC Pure Soap and Neutrogena Clear Pore toner (this toner has salicylic acid and witch hazel).
Think about your sleeping habits as well. Do you sleep on your stomach or side? That can press your breasts together and compound the problem. Try applying a little powder on your chest before bed (I prefer pure cornstarch baby powder) to keep the skin dry and protected while you sleep.
Your diet has a big impact on your skin, too. Drink more water and less caffeinated drinks. Add a B vitamin supplement, which can really help your skin, hair, and nails.
Good luck!

If you're under 18, it's pretty normal and relatively tricky to get rid of, especially if you're large chested. I used to and still occasionally get breakouts there myself. I swab on some Seabreeze astringent a few times a day and treat with Clearasil 3-day Acne cream in the morning and before bed. It usually helps.

The products you are using, are they Salsylic Acid or Benzoyl peroxide? BP can be VERY drying. I personally like SA better. Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! Try finding a face lotion with SA in it. Clean and Clear has a good moisturizer with SA and it helps keep pimples at bay. It is only about $5 a bottle and lasts about 2 months and you can get it at your local store. I have used this in the past and it works well. Personally, I use Biore products (which you get over the counter. Their products range from $5-$10). They are harsh on pimples, but not on your face.
Personally, Proactive didn't work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. I use Biore Ice Cleanser for acne and Biore warming facial scrub every morning for blackheads (This stuff works. I notcied a DRASTIC diffrence in my blackeads being GONE within 2 weeks) . And then 3-4 day s a week I use Biore purging pore cream scrub. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! I think you will just need to experiment with products until you find what works for you. Remember, it can take 1 month for products to fully begin working! Good Luck!

While it took little less than two months for me to really see a difference, my acne, blackheads and whole lot of other skin problems I had such as eczema had completely cleared! It was totally amazing...

First off. WOW!! What an awkward question.
I have that same problem between my legs sometimes. I put baby powder between them, and the bumps went away.
It COULD be because you're somewhat busty and they're constantly pressing together.

Try a good cream like Clearsel etc
Then wear a bra that has material 'in the middle'
next time ask your question more seriously

burn your bra, and maybe get it measured for accurate size
also, it's summer, go to a nudist resort where you can let them all hang out, or come over to my place, I don't mind you walking around topless,lol
