I have a lot of acne/blemeshes (no blackheads) and ingrown hairs on my breasts. I never had an acne or ingrown hair problem before this started about 4 years ago. I am a 27 year old female. I have never had any breast surgery nor have I ever breast feed. Why would this acne and ingrown hair problem only occur on my breasts and what can I do to eliminate it?
Answer -------------
The problem is that maybe it's not acne. If you are not putting on any sore of oils to explain the problem, then you should really be checked by a dermatologist. Other concers, of course without seeing you, might be vasculitis or a folliculitis due to yeast or fungus. You really need to be seen by someone. Sorry. Eliot
