Kiss back acne goodbye


How can I get rid of the acne on the top of my back?

While bacne can be a total pain, it’s actually pretty common. To kiss that back acne goodbye, try taking a shower when you get home from sports practice or any activities that make you sweaty. Until then, use a wipe or toner to get rid of unwanted bacteria on your back. Try something with benzoyl peroxide of salicylic acid for starters.

When you’re in the shower, try using a bit of exfoliating wash on your back to help scrub off the grime and unclog those pores. Can’t reach? Invest in a back loofah with a handle for easy reach. 

If your skin doesn’t get better, your doc should be able to prescribe medication to help you out.

Witch hazel, which is an astringent used for treating cuts and burns (and is relatively cheap!) works well for back acne. Calamine lotion helps too, and I've found that giving my back and shoulders a little sun every once in a while is good for my acne. Feel free to visit my page for more advice!

Becca G.,

I forgot to say that he would take it to the lab and if the lab says that there is something bad then he would have to remove every single mole on my body (which i have like 20 of)!!!!! Plus if it says that there's something bad, that would mean that if i don't get them removed then in the future I would have skin cancer!!!!!! & IM ONLY 11!!!! I AM REALLY SCARED ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!!

Whoever said accutane is good, it isn't!!! It's dangerous!!! I saw a commercial on tv about it and it causes cancer I think or somthing like that.

i have acne on my chest between my boobs and nothing i do makes it go away! what do you suggest? cuz it will be embarrassing during the summer... Frown help!




hey girlie,

try using a body wash for acne...that either has salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.  They should have it at drugstores or stores like Wal Mart and Target.  If you exercise and sweat a lot in that area, remember to wash off as soon as you can to avoid breakouts!

Okay so i tried the Clinique acne solutions on my face, but it didnt work. I have acne on my neck, upper back and a little on my shoulders. I was wondering if it would be okay to put it on my back....? i always wear my hair up and wash back there but i still get acne on my back? should i exfoliate?

I have 1 or 2 pimples on the back of my neck, how do I get rid or them? Or will they go away on their own?




Hey girlie. They will eventually go away. Just give them a little time to heal.

MOD,
ive had proactive for about a year now, and its not helping me at all. i dont know what to use, but i have oily skin and most of the cleansers that ive used didnt work and they dried my skin out really badly. any advice?
thanks,
Jazzie

 

Hey girlie. Yeah, proactive never worked for me either. What worked best for me was seeing a dermatologist.

MOD!
I've been using Proactive for my face, and it has been doing a pretty good job on my face! The problem is, I have the pimple scars. Is there a way to take them off?
Thanks!

I have pimples all over, and I use an acne-fighting face wash, but I still counted almost 40 bumps on my forehead alone, not counting the ones on my cheeks, back, and everywhere else. What can I do to get rid of ALL of it?!? I know it's not a problem with sweating, but I have oily skin sometimes and dry skin other times. It gets on my nerves and I feel self conscious.

MOD MOD MOD Im scared. My dr said that they might have to remove a mole that is on my back since its growing too big and then theyll stich my skin back together! I never got stiches before! Plus when they remove the mole my dr said that he would FREEZE my skin!!!!I DONT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN! Do you have any suggestions for me to get over? TY

 

 

Hey girly! I've had a mole removed before, and trust me when I say that it's a piece of cake... you don't even know that it's happening, it's over so quickly! Mine didn't hurt at all, before or after. It was very quick, and easy.

im going camping in the desert at the end of the month for three days with no running water. how can i keep my face clean? please help me! is there some kind of face wipe or something? thx!!




Hey girlie. If you are really concerned, then yes bring face wipes with you. They sell them at the grocery store so ask your mom for help to pick out some.
