use neutrogena acne spot treatment! when you have more time you might want to try SkinID. I’ve heard it works really well for people!
my dermatologist gave me a cream prescription that you put on your chest and back twice a day. so you could go to a dermatologist about it. i’m not sure if there’s anything that’s specifically for your chest or back that you could buy.
cut your hair shorter OR wash your body cleaner
I had chest and back break outs when i was younger… a home remedy i used was crush up asprin into a powder and mix it with lemon juice.. it worked for me believe it or not
hope this helps
I use a lot of household items to dry out my acne on my back & chest.
baking soda-use after shower when your pores are open. Rub it all over the area. (it will burn a little, do not get it on your nipples) you can leave it on or wash it off, depending on if you do it @ night or in the am.
hydrogen peroxide- amazing. But the pimple has to be popped for it to work. Again, will sting if you use it correctly. Will stain clothes so, don’t wear em. Cottonball+peroxide=pimple ahnihilator.
scrub reall hard in the shower to exfoliate (may I suggest a loofah?), don’t use regular soap go for acne body wash, wash all conditioner off your back, head&shoulders original has been known to help clear back acne, and stay away from steroids.
Chest and back acne is also called body acne in general. In many cases the media doesn’t talk about body acne treatment, in steady, the media mostly talks about face acne and it’s treatments. The same thing applies to manufacturers, they focus more on facial acne than body acne. Body acne is a very common form of acne that affects both adult men and women. If you have this kind of acne, you can take some control measures to reduce or get rid of it completely. Body acne can also attack your neck and shoulders. Here are a few steps you can follow to get rid of acne on chest and back for good.
Wearing breathable fabrics
Some people’s body acne is causes by synthetic clothing. Internal factors like hormonal changes, genes and medication are accompanied by perspiration which is trapped by synthetic clothing. This perspiration under the synthetic clothing can cause acne because they trap moisture or sweat from your skin. The best way to deal with this kind of situation is to wear synthetic clothing, a good example is cotton which induces evaporation of sweat or moisture from your skin.
Fighting chest and back acne from the inside
You can get rid of acne on chest and back by fighting it from the inside. Acne in general can be triggered by internal factors too, a good example is hormonal changes and medicine. It’s a great deal not to depend only on external treatments for your body acne. You should consider internal treatments too as they have been found to be very effective in treatment of acne on chest and back.
Body washes, creams and lotions
Another effective treatment and control measure of body acne is the use of a body acne treatment product that contains body washes, creams and lotions. You can cleanse your skin with a solution containing salicylic acid and SD alcohol 40. These two excellent ingredients are safe and effective on treating body acne. My advice is that you should always attack acne from the inside and outside if you want to get rid of it for good. Acne on chest and back can be ugly looking and nobody wants to suffer from this kinds of acne. Even though body acne is hidden by clothing on the public (except for the chest acne), it should be treated if possible because sometimes it can lead to a worse case of acne.
