It's not terrible, but more annoying to me than people notice. It'all EVERYWHERE!! Back, legs, chest, arms, neck and face.How do I get rid of my body acne (pimples, blackheads, etc.)???
For such a widespread case, I would suggest finding a dermatologist. Regardless of what people have told you, acne is cause by two things; the first and most common being bacteria (the other being hormone levels), usually from the staphylococcus origin. No matter how much you cleanse your body with antibacterial soaps or astringents, the source of the infection (the cause of the acne), lies underneath the outtermost layers of your skin.
A tetracycline pill such as Doxycycline will probably be prescribed to inhibit the growth of the acne causing bacteria. After about 3-6 months of use, your skin should be completely clear. If not, then your dermatologist may suggest hormone treatment.How do I get rid of my body acne (pimples, blackheads, etc.)???
Neutrogena has a body wash for this.
check this site out: acne.org. It has a simple but very effective regimen for acne.
Talk to your dermatologist. Instead of tetracycline, he or she may recommend Accutane, which worked wonders for me when I was a teenager. In the meantime have a shower every morning and evening and use an acne-fighting body wash (like the one by Neutrogena), use only oil-free moisturizers if needed, and wear clothes made from natural fibers (not polyester!)
Proactiv worked wonders for me
