bacne and chest acne?
For the past couple years I have gotten really bad bacne, so much that there are scars that I feel very insecure about. Also for the past month I have started getting chest acne. The funny thing is that I don't get hardly any acne on my face. What can I do to eliminate the bacne and chestne? I also work out a lot and tan in tanning beds, not stand ups.
thank you =)

Any chance you swim a lot too? Swimming in clorinated pools, ones mostly that need to be shocked, causes this problem most of the time. 1st of all, don’t scrub too hard as each pimple has bacteria in it which can spread. You need to wash off as soon as you finish working out and/or tanning as obviously your sweat is clogging your poors. Start using a soap like dial to help dry this up and for your back use a soft back scrubber, one without a brush. Try using Zapzyt. It’s a zit cream that you can find at any drugstore. Try to keep your hands off the pimples and, like I mentioned, do not scrub too hard. If you follow all of this you will see a big difference within 7 days.

Benzyl peroxide can help get rid of the backne.(you can find benzyl peeroxide in some acne face washes and stuff like that.) The scars just need time to go away. As for the chest, I would say use the benzyl peroxide. If that doesn’t work I would go visit a dermatologist.
