Bad Skin.
A while back, I used to use a lot of hairspray and gel on my hair and, when the stuff would drip onto my back, it would break out.
Since then, I've stopped using leave-in hair products altogether but my skin is still breaking out.
First of all, my back is awful. It's a lot clearer than it was a couple months ago but the acne never seems to completely go away.
The skin on my chest is also bad. I have little, red bumps all over and, although the pimples aren't that big, their very red. I can't wear any low-cut shirts because of this.
Also, I have a problem with the skin on my inner-thighs. It's not acne. In fact, I'm not entirely sure what it us. But I do know that I've have little, red bumps all over my thighs and they're EXTREMELY hard to get rid of.
Can anyone tell me how I can get rid of these pimples (and redness) on my back and chest fast?
And does anyone know what the bumps on my legs are and how to get rid of them?
Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem with my skin. i took amoxicillin 500 mg once a day for about 2 1/2 months and it's never come back.. there are also things you can get from ur dermotologist such as cream to make them go away.. try to go to ur pharmisist at a local drug store and ask for betadine scrub.. this will make them go away fast even tho it may smell a little.. just wash with that then use soap over it and it will clear up in less then a week! hope i helped!

I think you need to go see a dermatoligist. Ask you mom if she can take you. Then you can get some prescribed medication for it. I did, and it tottaly changed my skin! I barely get zits at all now :)

It sounds like you have very sensitive skin,and so do I so I can relate.First of all,you wanna invest in a good body wash with salicyclic acid in it.I really like Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash or Body Scrub.Also,if you can go the more expensive route,ProActiv makes a great body scrub for acne(check out www.qvc.com to look at the whole line,and they have better prices on it).You wanna make sure that you wash your hair first thing when you get in the shower.That way,when you rinse,all the dirt and oils from your hair that may wash down your back,will be wiped away later when you scrub your back!And you can always wash your hair again at the end of your shower.That also helps,so you can use products in your hair again if you want to.After the shower,apply a little spot treatment like Oxy,Clearasil,etc. to the zits themselves.If after about 3-4 weeks you aren't noticing any difference,it may be time to make an appointment with the dermatalogist.He/she can put you on an antibiotic that will attack the acne from the inside,by killing the bacteria.They can also prescribe a topical gel/cream that is a lot stronger than your over-the-counter stuff.Hope this helps!! :)

You should try astringent and it'll help clear away the acne. Try Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash. Just use it when you take a shower and it'll also help clear the acne. You should also try Proactive. Even though it is expensive, it works really great. If you want to use things in your house to help clear away the acne or dry it up, use toothpaste and lemon. Even tough lemon juice is used to fade freckles away, it cleared up my acne. Hope I helped :)

You might want to try astringent. All you do is squirt a little bit on a cotton ball and wipe it over your back, chest, and legs. Witch Hazel is the kind that I used when I started breaking out on my back. It should start to clear up in 2-4 weeks if you do it regularly. After you shower just rub it on. Astringent helps to dry up the oil in the pimples.

You should try Neutrogena body acne wash. Its supposed to be really good at getting rid of pimples. Also if you want something more expensive then you could try Proactiv on your body. I heard of lots of people who have used it on their body and face and they said that they loved it! Also you can go to epinions.com. Lots of people rate products there and you can read what they have to say about it and how good it is. If all else fails and you dont want to spend the money to go to a dermotologist than the next time you go to the doctor just ask him about it. Doctors have the same acne medication and dermostologists and usually the prescriptions are stronger that stuff you can buy at the store. The presciption probably wont cost a ton because insurance usually covers most of it! Hope I helped you and sorry this is sooo long! Lol!

first of all, don't be embarrased to go to the doctor! cuz that happened to me on my back and my chest and i went to the doctor and she gave me stuff and it cleared up! also: DON'T PICK AT IT!! i swear, it comes up 5x worse if you pick at it cuz the oil spills out and gets on ur fingers and wherever u touch it seeps in and makes more so just try to forget they are even there. wash with a MILD antibacterial soap or an acne body wash, but i still reccommend going to the doctor and the doctor can give u some stuff that'll clear it up in abt 2 weeks AS LONG AS u don't pick at it or mess with it. good luck n i hope this helps!!

As for the skin problem... I'm afriad I can't help. I have bumps like the ones you describe on my legs too, but I don't think there's anything you can do other than exfoliate regularly.
