Last week I spent over a week in Thailand and after laying
on the beach every day, I have come back with a great tan
but seemingly this has caused an outbreak of pimples on my
back and chest. Is there any way to hasten their passing
as theres not much point having a tan if you cant show it

off.

Im only 22 so pimples aren't an abnormal occurence for me
but nothing like this.

Polymorphous Light Eruption?

It looks like thats what it could be. It is strange though
because living in Western Australia I've been exposed to the
sun since I was born and I've never had this problem before.
It has been a while since I've had such a dark tan though
and it only seems to have occured on my back and chest, the
2 areas which receieve the least sunlight. Appears as small
red raised pimples, some containing small amount of pus etc.
Will continual exposure reduce the likelihood of it
reoccurring?

I don't think so. Treatment is usually with aggressive
sunblocks. Some people do gradual sun exposure each summer
to darken the skin gradually enough to prevent the eruption,
to the point where it's dark enough that it won't happen
with longer or more harsh sun exposure.
