Pimples on chest

[Thunderstorm]

About a week or so ago, I got some pimples on my chest. They were small, not too bad, and still aren't. i thought they might be Hives, but they haven't gone away. Is it just a stage in my life or should I be concerned?

In most cases chest acne is normal. :)

It all depends on the person in my opinion. Acne is all puberty sometimes. I've had a small amount on my chest and now they're gone. I had lots of acne on my face too. I remember using some products to get rid of them. They didn't do much. Now that I'm older and I'm almost done with puberty, most of my acne has left everywhere so you can say this is just a stage. Wait a few weeks or months to see what happens. Wash good there when you shower. If it's still there after the wait, go to a dermatologist for help.

Completely normal, you'll most likely get them on your back too.

It is mosr likely hormonal acne but often acne is cause by other things. There are lots of supplements that one can take that are extremely helpful in preventing acne. For starters, go to your local health food store and buy a bar of soap with bentonite clay in it. It helps balance out the oils in your skin and draw toxins from your pores.

Also, start taking chelated zinc (zinc bonded with a carrier molecule). An example of this is zinc picolinate, but don't take it if you are taking prescription acne medication.

Thank you all!

You aren't alone in this. I have chest acne, not bad whatsoever, just enough to get me to keep a shirt on though. I take regular acne medication that my doctor prescribed me back when my acne was absolutely awful on my face. For the most part, it's not really noticeable, except by me.
