Shoulder acne
I have a little bit of acne on my shoulders and upper arms. I have been using Neutrogena acne wash for the body, and it improved it but didn't completly get rid of it. I really want to be able to wear tank tops and stuff this summer, so I need a total solution. Are prescription drugs the only way to have completely clear skin if you have acne-prone skin like me? I've heard they work really well, but has anyone had perfect results with any kind of body wash? What about proactive, does it work for body acne?
answer any of these questions and you'll get a 5. or just say that you love the beatles. i'll still give you a 5.

so far I haven't had much luck w/ products as far as eliminating acne completely. I have used prescription drugs and i still do, and i have no acne. So i'd try a couple more different products and see what happens, but if you still fail to see results, I'd try the prescriptions.
Hope I helped!

Lol I love the beatles, but that's not why I'm answering your question!
Normally, I recommend Neutrogena body wash to people like yourself, so if it didn't clear it up completely, I'm thinking that a prescription is your best bet.
Proactive would most definitely work for body acne, but it can get a little on the expensive side. If you're willing to spend the money, proactive would definitely work for you.
On the other hand, if you have medical insurance, seeing a dermatologist and getting a prescription would be cheaper and would still most likely work for you. I was considering proactive, but I talking to my doctor first and she prescribed me a medicine and I only have to pay five bucks for a refill as opposed to the forty for proactive. More than likely he/she will give you a couple samples to try and you can find one that works best for you. Plus, you should ask for a cold spray. It really helps clear up the skin.
Just a couple other tips that might help you;
1) wash your shirts (bras too) wish a fragrance-free detergent. This can help prevent irritation.
2) Never wear a bra twice. Always wash it before you wear it again. The oils that build up in your bra strap could very likely cause irritation and thus bring on more acne.
