I have awful back and upper chest acne! What do I do to get rid of it?:(
Best Answer: There are several steps you can take. I've had horrible acne, and this is what's helped for the various stages.1. Start with dial soap or dettol. Just wash the areas when you take a shower.
2. If that doesn't work, you can graduate to a stronger face wash with at least 2% salicylic acid.
3. If this isn't helping after a month or so, you need to see a dermatologist. I started with creams, then antibiotics, neither of which worked, and now I'm on Roaccutane which has a 94% cure rate. You do need to go through the stages before taking medication though as it can have bad side effects like severe skin dryness and susceptibility to sunburn!Above all, don't pick or pop, if you have whiteheads mario badescu drying lotion (Around $12 I think) is good. Drink lots and lots of water and use an oil-free moisturiser and oil-free makeup if you use that. Bobbi Brown makes good oil-free stuff!Good luck. It's a tough one, but I resort to wearing scarves with open tops etc. to hide the chest acne if it's flaring up. It's tough, but it will go away eventually!

Try one of my home made soaps with all natural and organic ingredients. I get a lot positive feedback from people with acne:

don’t wear tight tight clothing.
be hygienic, shower every day, get specific body washes for acne. eat vegan (honestly you will see an improvement)
do that for a month,
if you see no improvement then consider going to see a dermatologist and getting a cream/antibiotic pill prescribed to you.

Try lavender oil. Apply this oil on the back acne everyday for minimum 15 days or else apply fresh Aloe vera juice or the gel and wash after a few hours. When washing your back use a loofah, sponge or exfoliant to help remove any dead skin cells that may clog up pores. Use a gentle action and don’t be too harsh otherwise you will end up breaking the skin. You should probably change your shirt twice a day to avoid bacteria buildup.
