What Causes White Heads On Chest, Stomach And Arm?

I am having white heads appearing the first was on my chest, 3 days later I had one on my stomach and now I have one on the inner part of my arm. They are sensitive when forming and have a huge white head in the center once they pop it leaves a pink pump with a hole in the center. What is causing this?

Hi.
As per your case history , my treatment advice is-
1. You are probably having Acne on trunk .
2. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily .
3. Apply an anti acne lotion like Clindamycin lotion twice daily on affected skin.
4. Other treatment options are oral doxycycline,minocycline and isotretinoin taken only after consulting a dermatologist .

Thanks.
