xOchErrytWistOx answered Tuesday February 22 2005, 8:21 pm: Don't use clearasil. It's crap. Basically, anything you can buy from the drugstore is crap. It's not worth putting on your skin. Before splurging on something like proactive or a visit to the dermatologist, make sure when you conditioner your hair, you wash off your back with a sponge using a mild soap like Dove or Dial. Do that every day for 2 weeks. If you don't see an improvment, talk to your mom about seeing a dermatologist or ordering Proactive. Proactive works, I did use it but my skin was addicted to it and it freaked out when I stopped using it. Just a warning!

Karen answered Tuesday February 22 2005, 6:41 pm: Don't use that Clearasil acne treatment cream anymore, since you have an allergic reaction to it. I suggest that you use any products by Neutrogena or Clean n' Clear. I used to have a little bit of back acne also and to get rid of that, you can buy an acne body spray by Natural's Cure for Women and it helps get rid of your body acne, specifically your back acne. If you are stressed a lot, than that may be the cause of your breakouts, since stress causes this. Hope I helped :)

Certain foods you eat cause you to break out. Like chocolate. There are different prescribeable creams that your doctor can give you too. See your doctor and he/she can help. Hope I helped! Eat healthy!
