pores on breasts

i had the same thing and i thought i was the only one. i tried everything too but i was too embarrassed to visit the dr. i exfoliated and moisturized but made no difference. i read about it and found out that it was due to excess sebum which is due to oily skin. so i tried talcum powder and that was my answer. every time i finish exfoliating especially during the summer when u tend to swerat more often i would towel dry then cover all my breast area in talcum powder. i discovered it absorbs all the excees oil and sebum for a good 24 hours and leaves my breast soft and smooth. really u should give it a try cause ever since then it has been my only answer and im so happy with it!!
please girls give it a try and let me know if u experience the same results. Good luck!

Doesn't talcum powder cause certain cancers? I see commercials all the time for lawyers for if you developed cancer and had used talcum powder.

i have the same thing. no idea what to do...just read the talcom powder thing though and i highly advise against that...a lot of new research has shown how bad talcom powder is and its link to diff cancers....my grandmother died at 52 from ovarian cancer and when i heard about the talcom powder info i told my mom and she said that could make sense, cause she remembers my grandmother sprinkling it in her underwear almost every day. .. just a heads up! but i'd love to get any other solutions if anyone has any?

I've had the same thing for a long time.  I've tried everything.  I happened to be reading about pyrithione zinc ...which is the active ingredient in dandruff shampoo.  Turns out it's also used for dermatitis, etc....I tried it.....it works.  Could see a difference after 2 showers.  Is now almost gone completely.

That's very interesting. Could you tell me what dandruff shampoo you use. I've been having this problem for some years now and I'm only 21 now. I thought I was the only one that had that problem and its hard to talk about it with any one. It puts me down a women and I get embarrass when try on bras when a lady helps me with fit.
