text: skin problem? i have these pimple like things on my back that won't go away. i know it's nothing contagous but what is it called and how can i get rid of it. more than likely acne-can also be some form of dermatitis-best see a dermatologist(skin doctor) for only he can tell for sure and in order to treat with medication must know exactly what it is-if acne and treat  with  wrong stuff-make it worse and same for all other skin conditions.
