Acne or skin allergy? please help..?!
Question: i had a period that i would break out on my arms due to an allergy to coolent at my job. i went a a dermatologist and my doctor 4 times. i was prescribed 4 different medications and nothing helped. eventually it lightened up and i hardly get anymore breakouts. its almost as if i had to build an immunity or now the weather has changed. it could have been a mix of collent and sweat cause the shop i work for doesnt have airconditioning and the temps were near 90's and 100's at times.
heres my new problem. im starting to break out really really bad on my sholders and back now. tons if tiny zits that almost seem like blisters. hard to explain. some of the larger seem like there little puss pockets. when i touch them they hurt. i havent changed anything as far as my shower routine. i sometimes take up to two showers a day due to my job. im not using any different shower products. im using zest body wash and bar soap like i always have.
is this the same allergy? is it acne or allergy?

actually, its bad to ignore them because worst case scenario, they're gonna get worse. What you could do to help is wash the affected area with a glycerin or sorbitol based soap. and when you use it DON'T use a sponge and DON'T scrub. Instead, just use your fingers to massage it onto your skin then pat it dry. and if you keep doing that it should work.
acne. Dont do anything! Dont pop! I had the same problem and I just left them alone. Try to take your mind off them.
