strange dry hard bumps and spots, on my back Options

[demolished]

I really need help on my upper back around the back shoulder and neck area.

i'm starting to have more bumps on my back. When i scratch it off, i think it causes spots. Will it ever go away? What other ways can i deal with it? I dont know what i have to say. i just need suggestion to heal my back to normal where it used to be. i made it worse before because i didnt stop scratching it because it felt good when i scratch it.

help!

My back have gotten worse and darker (bumps) for about 7 months since i got back issue. I rarely scratch or even touch my back anymore a long time ago. Everyday, my back gets minor itchy but it still bothers me. Sometime it gets stronger and unbearable. The new things that I’ve done to reduce the back problem was to change my home-style clothes very often, sweater everyday, jacket everyday, and pull my shirt upper to cover my back neck everyday . (And every night too!)

Anyways, i did go to my doctor. He was kind of useless to me, i think. He didnt tell me any medicine to reduce my bumps. (Because of too many side effects.) All he told me was to reduce eating oily food, caffeine, and chocolate. That's it. Shit man, I’m so f**king piss off. Doctor suck ass. He should at least recommend "something" for my back even though it is cause my puberty... but there are ways to reduce it, not get rid of it. Sheesh. What’s up with doctor these days? Do they care about their patient or the god dam money? I’m getting those freaking emotional pain from it. I hate my skin and every crap on myself, f**k, f**k, f**k, f**king f**k, shit.

Now, i dont know what to do. I feel so lost and no one to guide me. i hate bumbs, acne, or whatever it called. Life's a bitch, you know? My only hope is left to you guys, fellow cB. Any suggestions? Oh yeah, i'm using tree oil ... i dont think it's helping me at all. Idk.

You know what i think, it's keratosis pilaris. I could be wrong though. Thanks Anna for letting me know this info from http://www.helpforkp.com/

Please do not ...
refer me to dermatologist, no money for that. My family cant afford it.
tell me to go to the doctor, it's pointless.
use any product with aloe vera. i tried it ... it didnt work.

Help !

I'M BACCCCCCK !

^ why don't you have a body check-up instead of asking us people who have very limited knowledge on this. The problem might get worse if delayed.

Niez cho, my doctor did a checkup ... he didn’t make any big deal out of it. To him, it was like... "Whatever”. Oh yeah, I'm not the only one who experience this type of problem as a growing teenager so it shouldn’t be a very limited knowledge. I know it's natural to have back problem ... but there's always a way to make it better such as face wash.

I have keratosis pilarsis , on my upper arms , and upper thighs not that noticable though and they are not supposed to itch thoguh just feel like rough but use KP Duty , baby oil or baby lotion.

Same here, the bumps does feel rough on my buttock, thigh, and etc. My back feels itchy and flamy. I'm sure it can’t possible be acne. It doesn’t have any white puss on top of my red bumps.

I did some family research about keratosis pilarsis ... two of my brothers actually had acne ... one sister seem to have keratosis pilarsis, I think. I could be wrong though. One of my brothers has some bumps problems around his buttock.

Thanks for giving me the tips ;]

Oh by the way, i have tried baby lotion. I don’t think it's working at all. (Been doing it for about 3 weeks, nothing changes)

she meant it as a joke, the black plague is muuuch worse than what you have.

ugh, i think i used to have the same crap on my upper arms but, it's gotten better since i've used a loofa (those puffy things) to scrub my skin clean with body wash and regular soap. just plain regular soap with the loofa should be okay. i also use body cream afterwards from bath and body works but normal cream/lotion should work.

Wow, sounds interesting. What's loofa and what does it look like...? Thanks for letting me know but ... you’re talking about acne, right?

BRING BACK THE HEALTH FORUM!!!!![/GOODSPAM]

Indeed.

I don't know if your problem is acne, but if it is, Neutrogena has a great acne body wash that helps people with bumps on their back,so you could try that. I knew a girl with bumps all on her arms sholders and back, she used it and it really cleared up the problem. Also, try proactive, its expensive and you'll need someone elses help, but its the number one acne treatment and though most people use it for their face, some do use it on their back. Thats almost a fail proof method. I know it sucks, its a hard thing to go through, I have scars on my back for a few years ago when I had a problem with it from beign in marching band a sweating in the heavy uniforms. Its very embarrassing. But try those, they could really help you. :)

That’s a horrible experience ;[. Acne suck ass.

Does the product have to label "body wash”...? My sisters have Neutrogena for her face acne. She asked me to use Neutrogena because it helps reduce acne.

try exfolating you back everyday to slough off dead skin cells that might block your pores and cause "backne" also use an oil-free lotion to moisterize

p.s

keep using tea tree oil it's useful you might know the diffrence now! good luck

Speaking of scientifically, you can actually irritate, squish, ruin, and POP your bumps to make it worse. i wouldn’t do it though.

I’ve been using tree oil for a month, it doesn’t seem to make any different.
