it's super weird. i used to have acne only on my face, but thanks to acne products and a change in my diet, it's clear. but it seems as if the acne from my face vanished and reappeared on my upper chest [figuratvely speaking, of course]. and the strange thing is, it's only on my chest. no where else on my body. it started around mid '08.
i've tried using my acne facial products on my chest, using only facial moistourizer on my chest [instead of regular lotion filled with oils that can clog my pores], wiping it with baby wipes, using regular anti-bacterial soap, and using acne body scrub with a mesh cloth. NOTHING IS WORKING.
they look like little red bumps, but i'm assuming it's acne….or a rash that's taking a REALLY long time to go away. which is doubt it is.
i can't even wear low-cut shirts and bathing suits anymore without feeling uncomfortable. i really need advice for what to do. :[
also, is it better to use an acne body wash, or an acne body scrub?
i tried using toothpaste too! and it didn't work. :[

The best way to get rid of chest acne is to use an acne treatment product that is only designed for body acne (back acne,chest acne,arm acne..etc). I am sorry to say that most acne products available only focus or treat facial acne…they don't even talk about body acne.
Your diet too is important. Eat plenty of vitamins and drink enough water. Always use lukewarm water when taking a shower because it doesn't dry your skin. Hot water dehydrates the skin and cold water drys it out.
Use gentle soaps when taking a shower too.
avoid oil stuff and it is recommended that you see a dermatologist.
