Little red bumps on upper back and chest?

[Kp2017]

I always assumed the little bumps on my back was acne however, I now have a few on my chest and my back gets a little itchy now whereas before it didn’t. My back is a bit oily to the touch. I googled causes and all these frightening things popped up, bed bugs, scabies etc.

Here’s a photo of my back:

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Lots of people do get this itchiness on their back due to dry skin.  Winter worse?  When we use heat to warm our house is when I and my kids get this.  It could still be acne on your back with a few on the chest now.  Another possibility is eczema which has little sores.  It would be wise to see your doctor for a diagnosis though. We use two different products---  Aveeno Eczema Ointment bought at most drug stores and then this other that is a lotion that is anti itch.  Not sure if this would increase acne on the back/shoulder area.  Perhaps you could use a cleaning wipe like stridex or any brand and then the lotion over it.  But your best bet is to get guidance from your doctor.  good luck
