Q:
I am a healthy 22 year old girl. However I continually receive large pimples and cysts in-between my breasts, where my cleavage is. I also have a lot of scars from old ones. Is there anyway I can get rid of them, and prevent them from coming back? They never seem to heal. And I don't hardly get acne on my face? Can I make them go away??
A:
You are likely having staph infections causing the deep cystic acne. It would be wise to have the drainage from one of the cysts cultured and have appropriate antibiotics prescribed. A dermatologist can advise you about prevention strategies, which includes prophylactic antibiotic therapy, some skin hygiene with antibacterial soaps and also about dermabrasion procedures for the old scarring.
