(trying not to sound like a commercial) haha, but if you need to go to last resort try to find the cause of it.like are you nervous about something? are you under alot of pressure? but anyways just look into that.

RATZY answered Monday July 23 2007, 10:42 am: hiya, first thing i would suggest is you try to consult your doctor/ GP, but another thing you could is freederm this cream is available in most pharmacy's.
you can also try natural antiseptic cream/ lotion, look for products containing natural ingredients, tea tree is a natural antiseptic and can reduce rash and other soarness of the skin. i hope this would help, i've never had acne, but everyone has different skin types, so it might be a better idea consulting with specialists at your nearest pharmacy.
Let me know if this does help..takecare [ RATZY's advice column | Ask RATZY A Question ]
khadiya answered Monday July 23 2007, 7:24 am: scrubing isnt good. Do you use antibacterial soap? Try that if you dont. And also make sure your whole body is completely dry after getting out the tub, because air carries dirt, and dirt can get into your open pores causing body acne.
You can also use anything that you use on your face while you are taking a shower. And if you are a guy, the have shower gels among other things that specialize in this area. [ khadiya's advice column | Ask khadiya A Question ]
