While there is no scientific explanation for why acne occurs on the back, it is certainly just as embarrassing as acne that occurs on the face. Although acne on the face and back are formed by the same principle, it is much harder to cure back acne because the back is quite a “hidden” part of the body to ones own eyes and difficult to reach when you wash your body.

Besides normal bumps, I also get these awful painful cystic bumps on my chin, jaw line, and neck. Does anybody have any advice on good ways to take down the swelling and/or hide them? They look disgusting and I don’t even want to leave the house when I have them.
Any preventative measures I could take? It seems once one starts, there’s no stopping it.

the dermatologist prescribed antibiotics for 1 month, differin, and hydrocortisone. this has helped 50%. i finished the antibiotic about 2 weeks ago. i seem to be stuck with the rest. it’s only on my face.

I have acne scars mostly on my chin and forhead but i am getting them on my cheeks too. I am using clean and clear acne control kit do you think that will help. Are there any home remidies that will get rid of them in two weeks or less. Or are there any cheap yet effective products? Thank you

I’ve been struggling with Acne for many, many, many years and I’m and adult now and although I haven’t been breaking out much I have acne scars. I was considering cosmetic surgery but I don’t have the money and I’m afraid. Any suggestions.

There are home remedies for everything, how about this?
