Question
The patient reported that acne has appeared in the central abdominal area to the middle of the chest, and has been persistent for six or seven years. Initial examination results showed no cause for concern, and it was believed that the acne would naturally fade, but to this day, there are still two spots present. The acne in the middle of the chest can initially be squeezed out to reveal white material, leaving noticeable pores after compression, while the abdominal acne cannot be squeezed out of any substance.
Answer
Based on the description, the acne on the patient’s abdomen and middle chest may be due to papilloma cysts, which are caused by excessive secretion and poor excretion of sebaceous glands. If there are no other symptoms, the problem is usually not serious. However, if signs of infection such as redness, swelling, and pain appear, it is recommended to use antibiotics for treatment.
