Back/Chest/Body acne..?

I really need help with body acne. It is very embarrassing and I can’t wear certain clothes because it is so bad! I shower every day and I have tried many acne products on back and chest but nothing seems to work! Are there any good home remedies/products for body acne that are available at drugstores? Thank you!

well if its not on your face, it may be product run off.. I get bumps almost like cyst on my back and behind my ears, and pimple on my chest between my breast. Its all usually related to not rinsing soap off well. When you are showering consider washing hair first and then washing body this way you are washing off the shampoo as well as the soap off. If you wash hair last its a good chance that you are leaving behind shampoo and conditioner on body.
what you do is take a shower every day (at night but you can do it in the morning to) ALWAYS shampoo first because if you wash your body first then wash your hair you’ed be putting more oil on your body all over again. use a real body wash for acne NOT soap (it might work but it will take forevverr) what i use is “body clear body wash neutrogena” also if you dont wash your hair every day buy a shower cap =) rub the wash all over your acne areas rinse GOOD never think that “maybe this will work better if i leave some in” noooo that would be like leaving shampoo in your hair and not rinsing it out….eeww. ok so once you dry off and blow dry your hair or whatever apply some “clean and clear deep cleaning astringent oil-free” with a cotton ball all over the effected areas. when thats dry put on 2.5 % – 3.0 % benzoyl peroxide all over your pimples and let that dry..if the dryness is really bugging you put on some moisturizer but if not thats ok to.
some tips:
- keep your hair healthy if you have gross hair then the oil and dirt from that will rub onto your back and chest
- do this EVERY night and if for some reason you absolutely can not use a warm wash cloth and apply it on that way.
- dont wear skin tight clothes that will cause pressure and squeezing and ughhh you dont want to go through that!
- if this doesnt work for you keep trying never give up!
- SEE YOUR DERMATOLOGIST!! they are their to help you trust me!!!
questions?? contact me!! here are some i came up with:
how long will this take?
that depends on how bad your acne is, if you have less then probably 2 weeks or less but if yours is getting really bad then it might take months but see your dermatologist for sure!
will this just be like any other method?
it might be. but you have to look around to find the right things
how much will this cost?
that deponds on how big of the products you get but i would say anywhere between 15 – 30 $
also see acne.org!!! VERY good website!
hope i helped!!!
