What Treatment Should I Take For White Bumps On The Chest And Back Which When Popped Emit Whitish Gray Substance ?

There are weird white bumps on my chest and back. If I pop them they either are a white or grayish skin-like substance. The substance is soft when it is white and firm when they are grayish. Sometimes they leave craters black if I don t remove them correctly. I ve been told that my father used to have it, and it is very embarassing. I NEED HELP. How do I treat this CORRECTLY?

Dermatologist Dr. Gaurang Krishna's  Response
hello,
welcome to HCM.
You may be having Keratosis pilaris.
Start using a moisturizer and a keratolytic agent to reduce the lesions.
Please see a dermatologist for accurate diagnosis and prescription
Thanks
