What can I do about a recent, severe chest and back acne breakout?
Before I went on vacation I had a fairly mild case of chest and upper back acne that didn’t bother me too much. However, I take a pill along with some other acne meds, and during this vacation I didnt have my pills for 3-4 days. Now the acne is a lot worse on my chest, and has stretched down my arms and lower back, even though I’ve been back on the pill for a few weeks.
Can anyone explain the situation or help me out?

I have been following the Acne Treatment 99 protocol, and it has worked really well for me.

Morning – Use a Salicylic Acid face wash. Rub it on your face, and let it soak in for 2 or 3 minutes before washing it off. After you do this, apply a small amount of Benzoyl Peroxide to your entire face, and rub it in. Wait two to three minutes for the Benzoyl Peroxide to dry completely, and then moisturize your face with a non-comedogenic moisturizer. Follow with cosmetics if desired.
Night –Use exfoliate salicylic acid face scrub. Make sure to let it soak in for 2 or 3 minutes before rinsing. For an aggressive treatment, you can apply another layer of benzoyl peroxide.
Before bed – Apply a generous amount of Vaseline to your face. This will lock in the moisture, and prevent your skin from peeling.
Please note- If you exercise during the day, it is recommended that you shower and wash your face, in order to keep your skin clean and free of bacteria.
