I would like to know also because I have the same friggin things on mine, I am 28 and have had them since OMG as long as I can remember seems like, prob since the 4th or 5th grade when I started getting reg. acne but these are different and have been there for like 20 years, seems like they shrink in size during the summer if I am in the sun a lot... I went to a dermo. back in highschool and she just gave me some kinda cream or pills and that was it, never helped and I never went back.

Yeah, I'd go get a second opinion for a dermatologist. That way you will know what it is and what you can do about it. :)

If you do, would love to have you share what you found out so others with a similar condition would have some information to go off of.

Best of luck!!

Hey there,

Of course I'm not a doctor, but it looks to me like cystic acne.
