They are boils of oil. It's acne that doesn't come to the surface. Taking a prescription for acne like tetracycline would help prevent it. You can put a topical acne gel on them like Benzol Peroxyde 10% (sell in stores, like wal mart) when you get them. It'll help dry them out.

well, i don't know about ur body but if u put a little bit of honey and cover it up with a band-aid, it will eventually clear up. i know it works for ur face but i don't know about ur body. u might also want to ask a dermotalogist. \ndon't be afraid to ask because i have tons of acne on my face and i hate it...it stinks! i asked my doctor and he sent me three different things and it's starting to work!

It may be something you just never knew about, and always had. I have them, or something similar, on my arms. They look like blisters, and if I pick at them they either don't do anything or they bleed. \n\nThis is something that I've always had, and my mother said I had them as a baby. I also have eczyma, but the dermatologist says it has nothing to do with that, that this is just part of my skin, and there is nothing wrong with it, but it will always be there. Kinda frustrating. \n\nTalk to a dermatologist. They can tell you if it's a natural problem with your skin, or something like an allergic reaction to soap, sunscreen lotion, laundry detergent, or even changed chemicals in water.

You should go to a dermatologist and get something topical to put on it.  You might also want to think of getting a really good skin care routine cleaning your face every morning and night with products that work with your skin.  That will help keep you from having such problems as much.

my daughter has gotten the same thing before and i believe it was because she was dipping her hands into different soaps and lotions and then at some point touched her face .sensitive skin can do that cause usually they don't get regular pimples until puberty.

might go away, or develope into a cyste, you should go to a GOOD dermatologist, fresh veggies/ fruits are what keeps zits away, eat two big helpings at dinner (every night), keep your face washed, hands off, and you'll be ok, sounds faggy but the results are amazing.

they are pores that easiler get filled with dirt. all girls have them once and awhile. try using a body scrub acne cream. it helps

I would actually suggest going to a dermatologist to see what is up with your skin.  If you are prone to allergic reactions to over the counter acne medicines and soaps, I would think a doctor would be the best bet.  For home remedies, you can try swabbing your skin with a solution of black tea-steep a tea bag or 2 in some hot water, let it get nice and strong, cool it off, and wipe down your skin.  Also, remember that you don't need to apply a lot of pressure when you clean your face, just rub gently.  GL.

Any time you have recurrent pain you should see a doctor. It could be a headache, tumour (unlikely) or something hormonal you never know. As for pimples you wouldn't get a pimple in the same strange place evry month for a week.

It could be a pimple or cyst forming under the skin.  I would wait a couple of days to see if it goes down or goes away and if there is no change, see a doc...

Well Ashley, I can tell you that I had/have something similar to that. See a doctor. Do you have any excess facial or sideburn hair!? Sometimes it can be a sign of a hormonal disorder. Talk with a doctor, there is a medicine you can take that will help with clearing things up a bit. Good luck!

It's a cyst that requires a doctor to lance the area & remove it.  I had one on my back once from acne that I thought had cleared up on its own.  I had crappy insurance then like you do now.  Just make an appointment, be specific about the visit & go.  Most doctor's offices will work out payments with you if you have any co-pays.

keep it clean, do not pop as it may leave scars..\npeople have different skin types, one moisturizer and/or pimple gel / anti acne solution may or may not be effective on you. bad thing is, it might get worse if keep trying or putting something on it. Also, you may be suffering from adult acne which is normal. it may be caused by too much stress or probably your PMS. i suggest you consult your dermatologist first to get the right medications

haha this was just asked i thought.  I get the same problem on my upper arms bro, coco butter lotion W/ vitemin E twice a day when you get up and when you go to sleep every day.  It will take the color out of the marks and if they're smaller make em heal away.

I'm 32 and I still break out with my period. It totally sucks. Like being on your period isn't bad enough! The breakouts are caused by hormones. See your gynecologist - he can prescribe a birth control (Ortho Tricyclen) that will actually help with break outs, or a mild antibiotic that will help keep your skin clear. Also, just keep taking care of your skin and drink lots of water everyday. Unfortunately, some things you just have to deal with.
