advice

well, i have acne on my back and on my chest, more on my back though.. i'm like super self concious about it. and i want to get something to help make it go away, but i talked to my mom about it and she said i should be happy the way i am and learn to live with what i look like. ughh! i wanna be able to wear whatever i want and not have to worry about acne.. is there a way i can convince my mom into letting me buy something to get rid of it, i would really like it gone before school starts up again. Also, is there any products that you would recommend?
thanks in advance.

Use the same acne wash you use on your face on your back and chest. Make sure it has Salicylic Acid in it or Benzoyl Peroxide or else it wont fight acne (Salicylic Acid is generally used for more sensitive skin) Also, buy a loofah or a bush and scrub the areas with acne every time you shower. Most of the stuff you can buy in the store are mostly the same because they all either have Salicylic Acid in it or Benzoyl Peroxide, so ask your mom to take you to the dermatologist. They will prescribe you some cremes to use. They will either give you something you can use on both your face and your body, but might give you something specifically for your body acne. I use Differin and I apply it to both my face and body and it works really well.
You'll have to experiment with different products to find one that works really well.
