Hi, I have a bit of an embarrassing question but I'm really hoping someone will know how to help me. I'm a 29 year old female, and I've been getting sores on my chest ever since I was around 12. I had acne for many years until I was 20 (and cured it with Accutane), so I thought that it was just the same as what was on my face. And some of it was. But even once I had clear skin everywhere else, I still got these chest sores. There's no pus in them and they don't hurt; they're more like red marks or scabs, I guess. I have a bad habit of picking at things, and whenever I would dig beneath the surface, I would almost always find tiny, wiry ingrown hairs--so I'm pretty sure that's what's causing the irritations. I guess that means my body has a hormone problem? Dealing with a few blemishes wasn't that big of a deal to me for awhile, and the doctors I saw never seemed to know what I could do for it anyway, so I left it alone. But the scars have added up and it's starting to really bug me again. If anyone knows what I can do to solve this problem, I'd be very grateful. Oh, also, I live in Japan, so it would be even better if remedies involve stuff I can actually get here or order online. Thank you for reading!
PS.I know birth control is a common hormone fix but due to other health concerns I'd rather not go that route if at all possible.
