Brief Answer: Hair follicle infection needs antibiotics. Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for writing back Sorry for the mistake But,breast problem also occurs in males.It needs examination and investigations. If you mean right sided chest pain then you need some investigations.There are many causes of pain. If markings are due to hair follicles infection then you need antibiotics.Most probably you have been prescribed already. You also need investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,RFT,Lipid profile,ECG in all leads.Your age is 70 years and advanced age is more prone to diseases,so you should get the investigations done and in future also you need periodic checkup.
