   Treat the acne by using a mild astringent. Begin by wiping this body area when you first wake up and before bed. When applying the pimple or breakout astringent, use a cotton ball or buy pre-made astringent pads.
   Stay away from beauty hair products to thwart of neck area acne. Your neck acne may be caused by these products clogging your pores. They can leave a residue on your neck and collar bone and cause breakouts.

   Use a low concentration of benzoyl peroxide cream on your acne, which will dry up and clear acne without irritating or inflaming the skin. Squeeze a dime-sized amount of 2.5 percent benzoyl peroxide cream onto your neck, and smooth it in with your fingers until it has been absorbed.

   Good luck :)

   I had that too on my face, chest, and shoulders.. I used every cleanser and stringent pads but nothing worked so I went to my doctor and he put me on Birth-control for it and now my skin looks absolutely amazing compared to what it was like before.

   I have the exact same problem.

   Just avoid touching the effected areas, keep yourself clean and avoid oily things.
   I actually just bought Neutrogena Body Clear body wash at Walmart today. It’s an all over body wash with cleansing and acne fighting ingredients, and it has good reviews. I’d recommend trying that. It’s about $9 at Walmart. If the wash isn’t enough, use a typical acne medication. The gels and creams aren’t just for faces. Another thing I found VERY helpful with my chest/back acne is a homemade sugar scrub. Pour a 1/4 cup of sugar into a bowl, and enough water to form a not-too-watery paste. Gently scrub the effected areas in a GENTLE, circular motion.

   Good luck, and I hope I helped!!
