Any other guys on here get acne under chest hairs?
Please state your age
I'm 27 and just recently started getting acne on my chest, and I have hair in that area. I've looked up chest acne and foliculitis. I'd just like to know if anybody else gets who are adults and not teens going through puberty. Thanks
Im not really worried about getting rid of them. Im mainly worried that its not normal for people my age to have. I just want to know if other people have it. I dont care about getting rid of it, its mainly my worries of having a specific disease that I am at risk for that has chest acne as one of its symptoms. So I want to know how common it is for other guys to get this after puberty)

It’s probably ingrown hairs. Squeeze it and leave the hair.

Use Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash, containing salicylic acid. That will help keep dead cells off and clear any pore obstructions.

It’s most definitely the hairs coming out of the pores.
those situations DO cause acne to spore up sometimes (or ingrown hair. Make sure you deal with ingrown hairs before they grow out! it makes it so much worse and can be painful)
I have these little red bumps from trying to scratch off the oil build ups that were in the newly opening pores so yeah… dont do that.
