I've always dealt with severe acne on my face, but my body has always been smooth and baby soft. All of a sudden I have a huge outbreak of body acne! It's horrible! On my arms, shoulders, back, and completely covering my chest.
Does anyone know
1. WHY this happened all of a sudden?
2. How I can get rid of it?
alot of products just depend on your skin type if they work or not.
So you may just have to experiment around on different body washes geared toward body acne.
But I use Phisoderm Anti Blemish body wash.
It works wonderful for me.
and they also make a face wash verson.
YOu can get that at walmart, some walgreens carrys them and kmart doesn't.

I hate wearing short sleeves because I don't want to expose my skin to everyone, and you're not alone, but in a world where people think they have to be perfect, it's hard to get by with these flaws, but it's ok. I went to my dermatologist and she prescribed this to me... [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
and to use this afterwards... [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Those products are WORTH IT. They helped my acne soooo much, and you can use it on your arms, back, shoulders and even your chest. It takes time, but wow, my skin has gotten soooo much better :]
