Hi Catlover, 

If this symptom is unusual for you or won’t go away, it would be best to speak with your doctor. In most cases it's highly unlikely it would be cancer, but it's always good to get symptoms checked out, if only for peace of mind.

If you're feeling a bit nervous or uncomfortable with the idea of showing your chest to the doctor, do be sure to let them know as I'm sure they will do everything they can to make you feel more at ease. If you feel it would help, you could also ask to be seen by a female doctor.

Hopefully some of our members will offer their thoughts and advice to you soon but in the meantime I hope you're able to get this looked at and that it turns out to be no cause for concern.

Kind regards,

Thanks for the reply. I'm still not sure if it's worth the visit. I'm also autistic and I feel like it would make the appointment even more stressful, especially since only my father could come with me. I do get chest acne so maybe the red dots are linked to that, just clogged pores though they never seem to go away and there are some deeper red dots too. I think some of those might just be acne scars though. I didn't even think much of how my chest looked before I saw the brown spot (which like I said went away for some reason after about two weeks) and discovered the orange peel like dotting can also be symptom. I'm not sure for how long it's been like that, but again it maybe just be linked to chest acne. I haven't told a parent because it's very awkward and I don't want to make something out of nothing, especially for an area that private.
