i have somewhat a lot of acne. on my face i get like 10 really large pimples. then i have a ton on my chest, back and shoulders. i play a really competetive sport if that is the problem. but i was wondering if anyone had any solutions? right now im washing my body and face with regular body wash and face wash. then i clean the acne with oxy wipes and then use a cream by oxy. it helps but it takes a really long time for the acne to fully go away. anyone have any reccomendations that actually help and make it faster to go away?? thank you!!!

If you see a dermatologist, he may put you on an antibiotic to battle the acne from the inside, out. A lot of times it is something called cistic acne, which is where the pimple forms under the skin and slowly raises almost to the point of a knot on your skin. In the shower, wash your hair first thing. This helps because a lot of times the dirt & oils from your hair can cause back acne. Use a body scrub which will exfoliate. You can try Proactiv, which really does work, or if you're on a budget, try Neutrogena. Apply a cream with salicylic acid to your face, chest, back and any other affected areas, after washing. And as someone said before me, warm water in the shower and washing your face, will help to open up your pores. Keep me posted and let me know how you're doing. But keep in mind, unfortunately most of these take many weeks, as many as 8, to start working. So you have to be patient!
