Spots On Chest, Back, No Spots On Face. On Hibi Anti Bacterial. History Of Oily Skin. Treatment?
Hi I am a 50 year old male and for the past 2 years I seem to be getting spots on my chest , sometimes on my back but very few , its really the chest area mainly. Not itchy but some quite vicious. I do have oily skin but no spots on face . Have tried Hibi anti bacterial , but I think its just the fact that my upper body produces oily skin, anything you can suggest (I dont eat cheese / dairy products although I do like chocolate!)
