Taking Medication For Anemia, Eating Healthy. Reason For Acne Like Bumps On Chest?
i already went to the doctor and got my blood taken for a check for anemia ,got medication . so my question is my doctor didn t say i had any OTHER problems, but i get these not painful or bad but red acne kinda bumps around my chest ,especially the left one but they dissappear after a while turning into dark lines and part of my skin like they were always there. i have not done anything new in my life or eaten things that may cause anything, ive always been healthy, shower a lot so what do u think this is, im 18 yrs.

hi Maryan ,Acne may occur beside face at back ,upper chest ,upper part of arms some times at hip area also, take care of it by frequent washing of affected parts ,don't apply oily creams and oil etc. consult your dermatologist ,he/she will prescribe you some ointments ,that would be very effective in your case .
so don't get dis hearted as acne has no relation with food ,It is a common problem in your age .
