How can I get rid of chest and back acne?
I have an embarrassing case of chest and back acne. I read somewhere that to help it, you can scrub the areas gently with a loofa during a shower. I’ve been doing that for two weeks and its not helping. Is there a special medicine designed just for the treatment of acne on the chest and back?

Okay, you can purchase a back/shoulder/chest acne wash at your pharmacy. Neutrogena has one for sure, but just browse around incase you see something better.
So I’m not sure what product you should use; but I have some tips.
- Wear light t-shirts or tank tops to bed.
- Before you shower, scrub your back with a loofah/back scrubber, then apply the acne cream you’ve chosen. leave it on for a few minutes and then rinse it off.
- It will strengthen your skin if you can get a little bit of sun on it each day – probably 2-4 periods of 15 minutes a week would be great.
- Change/wash your bedsheets often.
- Completely dry your back/chest after your shower before you put on a shirt
Also here’s some things to try:
Clean + Clear
Neutrogena back/shoulder wash
Benzoyl peroxide
Witch hazel
your usual facial wash – but these usually are not as strong as the back washes, so would take longer/not work as well.
Good luck :]
Use an acne wash with the lufa or perhaps it’s to textured try a brush on a stick (For the back) or a buff puff.
Murad makes a great body acne wash too – (It’s not cheap)
and small doses of the sun.
Pimples or acne on the back, chest, around the breasts and between the shoulder blades can be treated very well with regular treatment. A course of treatment spread over 8-12 weeks provide excellent clearing of the eruptions.
There are several creams which help to clear scars as well. Also there are some chemical peel treatment which some doctors do for stubborn cases..
You will have to consult a skin specialist in your vicinity for accurate treatment. Which place do you hail from?

Wear a loose-fitting t-shirt and put tea tree oil on the acne, it will keep your skin moist and kill the bad bacteria on your skin. A few simple lifestyle changes in this book http://backacnetreatment.info/ will help you get rid of your acne forever.
a detailed plan of acne treatment is present on this site with many useful links try them http://acnedestroyer.blogspot.com/
Acne is common on the back, chest, shoulders, and even buttocks of many people. It can be a sign of more severe acne when the lesions are large and painful.Log on to http://tipsfromruby-acne.blogspot.com/ for a few home made tips to heal acne .
From a medical standpoint I would highly suggest that you look into antibiotics from a dermatologist. My specialty is herbal alternative medicine and the one thing I have seen work with many acne sufferers is that they perform detoxifications each month. This will not only clean up your insides, but it will help to also strengthen your body’s ability to clear the acne on it’s own. Give it time and do some of your own research. For anyone that wants more information on health you can visit my site anytime at http://healthy-nutrition-facts.blogspot.com. I really hope this information has helped you in some way.
hi. there’s some good info and solutions at the site below, including inexpensive and ‘natural’ treatments. there are some very good, guaranteed products available, as well, depending on your budget. they target back and chest acne, as well, because they’re two of the primary areas you get acne.
Some common over the counter topical medications for mild acne are:
Benzoyl Peroxide – helps reduce bacteria, and reduces oil production, but may dry out your skin if used alone.
Resorcinol, Salicylic acid, and Sulfur and all help break down whiteheads and blackheads. Salicylic acid also helps unclog pores, because it cuts down shedding of the cells lining the hair follicles.
Over the counter (OTC) topical medicines are fairly effective in treating acne if they’re used regularly. But, it can take up to 8 weeks before you see noticeable improvement, and they can increase your skin sensitivity to the sun, so use a sunscreen when using them.
There are a lot of things that create or worsen acne: hormones, diet, environment, genes, stress, oily or heavy makeup, abrasive cleaners, even over-use of vitamins, medicines, and steroids. There are some vitamins that help acne if ou don’t over-use them, including Vitamin A.
In my research, I’ve found a couple of new acne treatment systems that work very well, one less expensive than the other. They both have guaranteed results or your money back, and have great feedback and testimonials from users. You can check them out at the info site below. One is "Acne Free in 3 Days", and the other is a revolutionary new acne treatment system that treats your acne from the inside out, has no side effects, and is dermatologist recommended with guaranteed results. It goes to the source of the acne, and not only removes your current breakout, but helps prevent future breakouts that you don’t even know you have yet! This system called, "Acnezine", is a natural acne treatment system that heals blemishes including spots, whiteheads pimples, redness, pus, and blackheads. It works for adults & teenagers by providing antioxidants that help eliminate the ‘free radicals’ that can cause acne. This system is safe and effective, and works to cleanse the entire body. With this system, you don’t have to continue to use topical medicine indefinitely to continually fight the acne, as it will help keep new blemishes from forming.
Its ingredients include organic leaf and other extracts including aloe vera, birch, green tea, orange, neroli fruit, lemon peel oil, witch hazel, honey, tea tree leaf oil, willow, sage, sugar cane, and bilberry. It also includes a high percentage of daily required vitamins including Vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, and E.
I would check both of these out, as well as the information and other natural solutions available, and let me know your results. I hope this helps!
