Preventing Back and Chest Acne
Back and chest acne is a condition that can really knock the self-esteem, and can dictate where you go, what you do, and what you wear, as well as how you feel. For example, some people with chest acne wouldn't dare venture on to the beach in a skimpy vest or bikini. Those with chest acne may not want to exercise at the gym, in case the clothes they wear show off the acne or it is seen in the showers. The confidence can take a real battering from chest acne, and even being seen in the altogether by a partner can become a nightmare. Your chest acne may be caused by hormonal imbalance, friction during exercise, or even by the clothes that you wear.
Back acne and other body acne can be tougher to treat than facial acne, and more expensive because there is a larger area to cover. So it is better to preventing before suffering.
In the shower, use your fingers or a body brush to gently rub a 2% salicylic acid cleanser into your skin (available at drugstores). After showering, use only a noncomedogenic body lotion. During the day, wear loose-fitting, breathable fabrics, like linen and cotton. At night, dab a benzoyl peroxide spot treatment onto body blemishes. If you don't see results after four weeks, ask a dermatologist about getting a prescription oral antibiotic or a topical cream to accelerate the clearing process.

By Sumith from Belur INDIA on February 2nd, 2012 I'm suffering from back acne since '2000' it's 11years yar I tried all type of medicine &consult all specialists but yet not cure completely. Here my experienced suggestions to u guys & gals it will automatically cure at certain age. Plz avoid excuss of oil food like ghee,chiken,oil fry food like vada,baji. If u suffering seriously use antibiotic 'CEEDOX' But continueous using is harmful. I ate Methi grains daily in early d morning. Its a very good treatment for backacne which controls harmone imbalance. Daily get a nice bath with warm water before sleeping. Use clean towel to remove water from ur body after bath. Don't be depress,worry or inferior BE HAPPY @wish u good luck@

By jessica from london on August 4th, 2011 I'm looking on these acne websites, especially for my back, chest, and neck. I can't remember when I didn't have this problem, and I have no idea what to do about it! My boyfriend is unaware but sooner or later he'll find out. Its just a real confidence knocker, I think I may be going to my gp about it, as I've seen none of my friend have this problem, actually no-one I know of does, and it kind of makes me feel like I'm on my own, so I'm so glad I've come across a website like this so I know I'm not alone. Thanks guys. :-)

By enad from cali cali on December 12th, 2009 Dear Sangeetha, I have suffered from severe acne starting in my early teens. I have done anything and everything you can imagine. My face and neck cleared of acne, but left scars. Although my back and chest acne is still present. Through trials and research I have discovered that washing your back with a towel or massaging(depending on the skin, you don't want to irritate) with a gentle cleanser once a day, and lotion your body with a non comedogenic body lotion does the trick. Acne is caused by oily skin that clogs the pores from receiving fresh air. The oil then traps dirt and bacteria which clogs the pore and thus creates. Just create a regime where you wash once a day with the plan. Bathe once or twice a day depending on your skin type. You dont want to dry yourself out though, it cause irritation and dead skin to clog pores.
