You should try and get a referral to a dermatologist. They are specialists for skin conditions including acne. What they do is tell you what causes the acne on your back and give you a prescription creme that gets rid of it and keeps it gone.
While body washes may help a smidgeon they don't have any medication in them that can get down deep into the pores and literally burn all the crap that causes them right out. It doesn't hurt but that's what they do.
You have to see your family doctor first. You'll tell him/her how this is affecting you with self-esteem and that you can't wear certain kinds of clothing without people giving odd looks.They may have sample creams you can try out. If not they'll send you to the specialist.
It shouldn't cost anything then again American health care usually does whereas in Canada where I am (and other countries) it's all taken care of for us on government universal care. Talk with your parents as the money for the appointments may be more worth it for you than the amount they spend.

Use Neutrogena body wash that has 2.0% salicylic acid listed in the active ingredient. That's what helps battle against acne:
