Okay, im not sure as to what exactly this is, but im going to do my best to describe.
Currently i do not have medical insurance so i cannot have this checked out due to that.
I've had these red bumps on my chest for some time now. Im currently 20, and if i can remember right, i've had them since i was around 14. They started out as bumps under my skin that were very painful to the touch, and then surfaced as a "red bump" about the size of a pea. Eventually of some time they would grow a head on them and i would try and pop them, thus making it more painful and sometimes worse. Currently they are itching and really sore to the touch. Im not sure as to what they are, i've just always thought that it was acne, but i fear that it may be something more. My girlfriend thinks that they're cysts that are growing under my skin on my chest.
When i was a freshmen in high school i played football at a school that i dont believe steralized their equipment very well. I've noticed the issue shortly after playing there.
I really would like to know how i can treat this. It's become painful, and has caused problems with me have security in taking my shirt off. Anything would help, thanks so much.
This is a current picture of what its looking like right now, if you look near the bottom of my pecks, there is a scab from one that i've popped.
