Mystery Chest Bumps… Skin colored… Not acne… Not itchy… Not painful… HELP!?
For years I have had bumps covering my entire chest... every pore. I have mild acne with occasional pimples and blackheads on my face, chest and back. I have very oily skin. The bumps in questions are small, not itchy, not flaky, not inflamed, not painful and they are skin colored. They only go away if they are squeezed... but they aren't full of puss or blackhead stuff... they have a white/yellow thickish pastey substance in them. They don't come to a head like a pimple. And they always come back every time in every spot. They don't respond to acne treatments. A few of these bumps are larger and fill up with a good amount of the thick substance. I can squeeze the stuff out, but it comes back in a day. Then I have these other bumps that are somewhat hard, round white balls under the skin and they can't be squeezed. A few of these I have poked with something sharp and the white thick substance was able to be squeezed out.
What could this be??

I have had the exact same thing on my chest!!! I have tried everything to get rid of it and have been to the dermatologist for years. I have treated it like acne and like a rash and nothing has helped. The only thing that has made it completely go away is when i was on accutane and it came back a month after i got off of it! I tried accutane three times and it still came back! Let me know if you find anything else that will get rid of it!!!

It does not sound good. I would go to a dermatologist, if you are serious about getting rid of them that it ALL you can do.
