What is causing this, and what can be done to stop it? Warning: GROSS?

One of my friends is very large chested and she told me that she has these things like hair bumps..kinda like the ones people get on their legs even though they have little or no hair there (African AMerican women mostly know what I mean) well she says she has these things on her breast but they are very small, however, she says when her breasts itch after getting out of the shower, some of them pop and she can see faint little blond hairs or sometimes they are black and blond at the tip or either there is just pus and a blackhead comes out, it is mainly UNDERNEATH her breasts.

My sister has the same problem. The doctor said it is the pores under there getting clogged and they unclog after bacteria(from sweating or getting moisture trapped under there) has set in and no where to go but out that is the pus she sees. Also the hair bumps is normal. We are actually covered by tiny hairs and they show up longer in some areas then others. I personally have 3 hairs on each breast around the nipple. Doc said don't pull but trim(pulling causes ingrown hair and will grow back thicker)

To treat the pus bumps. after the shower pat dry under there apply powder and elevate them for about 5 minutes until the moisture sets in also clean that area as if you were cleaning your face (like a facial scrub, this will remove the bacteria and unclog the pores before they become infected(the bumps she is getting) she'll be fine just keep those puppies dry and clean GOOD LUCK

If she has really large breasts then maybe those things are irritation from the skin chafing. If she is really worried about it then she should go to a dermatologist.

That's a question for a dermatologist. But to me it sounds like ingrown hairs and/or acne.

Well, it sounds like she may have acne %26amp; blackheads on her breasts. She can use acne tretament to try nd prevent them. I am part African American and heavy chested as well and sometimes I get ingrown hairs on my breast that causes a pimple or bump and when I scratch it off puss comes out sometimes. Just use a body scrub to exfoliate her skin while in the shower. If that doesn't help she may need to see a dermatologist it may be skin chaffing from her bra.

i think there is a cream the doctor can give you for that, i am pretty sue it is a form of body acne...i knew someone who had that in their inner thighs and it completely went away after the cream...

sounds like something to do with ingrown hairs. if you pluck or shave then the hair can grow back in at an odd angle causing the bumps. although i am not sure about the itching...

The best thing would be to go to a doctor

Uh - this happens to many large breasted women; it's not exclusive to black or african american women or african women.

Many large breasted women will get clogged hair follicles underneath their breasts. Use a loofa sponge or a regular wash cloth when bathing -- and make sure to rinse all traces of soap very well.

Another thing she can do is make sure she doesn't wear a bra when she sleeps - so air can get to the underside of her breasts. A little sun is very helpful too.

This also tends to happen more frequently to women who've had breast reductions but still have a c or d cup size - since the skin is 'rearranged' when the breast reduction takes place.

maybe ingrown hairs

Could be hidradenitis suppurativa. She should go to a dermatologist that knows about HS (not many do) or research it online to see if her symptoms match.

It is probably some form of follicolitus, especially if she is damp there, mostly from sweating I would assume. Don't take my word on it.

Also, the Gorillaz were doing extremely well, winning Grammy awards and having multi-platinum albums and all. :)

It could just be ingrown hairs. But it could be a parasite. And they can mess your stuff up. I read a story on the net about this. she should get it checked out before it is too late.
