Bad acne on back chest and arms


Question Posted Friday June 5 2009, 3:09 pm

I get awful acne on my back chest and my arms and i don't know what to use to get rid of it. I get random breakouts on my face but its just a few zits so its not really a big deal. I'm ver self conscious about my acne and i've tried body washes but none of them seem to work. I hate having to hide because i have this problem. So what should i use or what should i do?

Remember to approach it from both sides of the fence - outside as well as the inside of your body. This happens to people for many different reasons. Simple changes like drinking more water and avoiding sugary drinks, daily exercise, and a more vegetarian-style eating works great for some. Try it out and see what happens when you do: give yourself an honest and solid two to four weeks and note any results.

Try to see if a dermatologist would recommend for you retin-a micro - its a powerful, prescription only medication that helps with this situation. You only use very little (I'm talking like barely any) as directed, either daily, weekly, twice a day, etc. Anyways, hope that helped and good luck.

I have a friend at my school and she got really bad break outs because of sweatting and wearing make-up. She had the same problems you did. she asked me what she could do and i asked my mom. The best thing to probly do is go to your doctor. You might also try not wearing make-up or even shower twice a day. Well i hope i helped

This is very common. What you need to do is book an appointment with a dermatologist. They deal only with skin and can prescribe something to get rid of it no problem. Body washes, over the counter creams and other remedies haven't worked because they aren't strong enough.

A prescription cream will more than handle it. You need to see this kind of specialist for treatment. It may be a few zits but if you're self-conscious about how your arms, back and even face look to others than you should definitely see a dermatologist.

On rare occasions regular family doctors will have samples of prescription acne creams for your face. They can write a prescription for that but I'm not sure if they would for elsewhere on the body.

hey my sister used to have problems with acne too,the only thing you can really do is to consult a doctor and hopefully they can perscribe some cream or anitbiotic that can clear it up quickly,my sister went to a private specialist about hers and she had to go on this tablet called "roacitine" i think, it worked wonders though it was like she had got whole new skin completely clear.
it did have some side affects however,as do many tablets some steroid based ones can make you gain weight too.
my friend also got a bad break out on her back she went to the doctor he perscribed this cream and its almost gone now.
it depends on the person and your skin too your diet can also play a huge part in it make sure you drink plenty of water and eat fruit and veg it really does help with your skin.
other ways are beauty treatments like electrolisis etc,there are loads so if you wanted to go to a beauty thearpy clinic I worked in one part time for work expierence and ive seen first hand the results of them and some really do work =]
sorry I cant be of more help but your best bet is to go to your local Gp/beauty clinic or health shop for more natural remidies.
and remember acne does ease up with time it will go eventually as you get older so ive heard
good luck I hope it clears up for you and that I helped in anyway
