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 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.

By Mansur from Philippines on December 17th, 2008 i am 26 years old and i have been struggling with my acne problems. When i was 18, it all started in my face, and in 22, its on my chest and back. And now i think its just getting worst. Before, ive been using acne products but still it doesnt work for me, so i just stopped using it. I just need your help, or give me some advice and tips on how to prevent it. Just what they say, prevention is better than cure. I want to send my pictures so that you may see what my problem look like. Email me as soon as possible. Tnx

By Anonymous on December 17th, 2008 wtf if it's that simple i should try it considering i have had mild back and chest acne for two years and it hasn't cleared up...however it did start after i got a bad sunburn so it's probably something more serious
