Default Blackheads on Chest

Ugh, since I came off Dianette (and got back to my 'normal' greasy self) I have had blackheads appear in a tiny 4 inch square just above my breasts. They eventually turn into little pimples. I just find it really gross... I find blackheads gross anyway, but this looks so unfeminine and I just feel like I am going to be so self-conscious this summer wearing anything remotely revealing because people will be able to see my spotty chest!

Any suggestions??

Hi girls,

I have not taken dianette but I do suffer with spots on my shoulders and particuarly under my arms, I just wanted to let you know that I use Clinique back and chest spray to control this. It's not cheap - £13.50 a bottle last time I brought some, but I swear by it and it is money well spent!

I hope this helps!

Good luck

M xxx

Thank you for the suggestion... It sounds worth a try!
