Im so confused right now. Thing is, ive developed a rush like pimples on my chest. When they heal they leave a dark scar mark. So since ive developed them, more than 3 people (adults) told me that its a sign that i might not have children in future. One even gave me an example by her cousin yesterday. I went to 2 doctors, they gave me medication and nothing worked. Now this thing is disturbing me, the pimples are now on my chest and all over my back (luckily not on my face). I cant wear clothes that show my skin (summer dresses), i wish i could coz all of my friends does only me. Ive even lost a gud guy bcoz of them, now its like 'il never ever find a gud guy'..they make me look like i got and STI or something so i have to hide them all the time! This whole thing is getting out of control. I need help :( any advice will do. Thanx 4 your time

It could be a sign that you have polycystic ovarian syndrome, BUT there are other symptoms that you must have as well to give this diagnosis. You need to see a doctor who can obtain bloodwork and determine whether you have the other symptoms necessary for this diagnosis.

watsername1523_ agony auntIt's certainly not a sign that you won't have children in the future, whoever told you that was probably just being mean or they're seriously stupid.

It's most likely acne,acne leaves marks. But if you're still not sure then go back to the doctor. But since you've already been to the doctor twice and they haven't said anything is serious, then it's probably acne.

What did the doctor prescribe you exactly, what did they tell you?

If it is acne (which i'm sure it is) there are products you can buy to help control it (like body wash with salicylic acid). You are at that age where your hormones are all over the place, acne is part of many teenagers lives (including me).

And if that guy left you just because of this, then he is obviously not worth it. And the whole "STI" thing is something that I really don't get, STI stands for Sexually Transmitted Infections, if you had one symptoms would occur in the genital area, not on your chest/back.

I suggest becoming educated about acne so that you can learn to control it.

Sounds like body acne, try a body wash with acne treatment. Proactiv has a really good one.

I'm a beauty advisor, and I agree this sounds like acne. Follwo common-sense advice like washing twice daily, don't use soap, but try a wash containing tea tree oil. Don't scrub, don't squeeze and give the rash as much fresh air and sunlight as you can - difficult I know, but do your best. Sweat will make it worse. Don't be too harsh on the skin as it will make the skin 'panic' and pump out more oil.

Tea tree oil can also be applied on a cotton bud to individual spots. It works wonders.

Above all, look at your diet. I used to have this problem and I found that cutting back on sugar solved it for me.

aunt honesty agony auntIt sounds to me like it is acne. No this is not a sign that you cannot have children so please ignore these adults that is telling you this. Also he must not have been a good guy if he broke up with you over spots you have. If he cared for you enough then it would not have bothered him. Go back to the doctor and ask for some antibiotic cream. Eat healthy and drink plenty of water. Keep your skin dry and clean and if it gets itchy do not scratch or pick at them instead use an ice pack to get rid of the itching.
