   Try this for chest and back acne:
   You can use a facial acne cleanser on your chest and back but try to find a body wash made for treating acne. Apply a light mosturizer to your chest or back after you shower.

   Go tanning. Tanning reduces your current acne and can prevent some outbreaks on your chest and back.

   Wear loose and breathable clothing at bedtime and during the day if possible. Wash your sheets and pillow case once a week. Body oil and dirt builds up in your sheets.

   Good luck!

   The neutrogena acne clearing body wash that smells like grapefruit worked for me. (and smells good)

   A great book on acne is Breaking Out by Lydia Preston. I suggest you get the book and read up on acne and the available treatments, and then make an appointment with your doctor.

   Here are a few tips that will help you know how to treat acne at home.
   1. If you have red angry looking acne, don’t touch it. If you squeeze now, all you’ll do is force the contents deeper into the skin that will make matters worst. And all you’ll end up with is redder, angrier acne than you had before. Don’t do it.
   2. If you have a yellow custard top? Go for it. These beauties CAN be squeezed but there’s an art to it. Here’s how. Wash your hands thoroughly to avoid trouble and infection. Put a tissue over your finger. Why? Because you want the contents of the spot on the tissue, not splattered all over the mirror. Using the side of your thumb and the end of your finger, very gently start to squeeze. Don’t whatever you do, use your nails as this will damage your skin. Stop when you’re applying a lot of pressure and nothing is happening and you see clear fluid, rather than yellow grotty stuff and the spot begins to bleed. When you’ve finished dab it with antiseptic. Once the custard bit is out, the spot will heal more quickly than an unsqueezed yellow top would, providing that you now leave it well alone. Now wash your hands again.
   3. Whiteheads and blackheads. If acne is left untreated they may cause this problem. Here the rule is if they’re black, squeeze but if they’re small, white raised lumps leave them alone. All that stuff about clean hands, tissues and stopping if nothing is happening or you see blood, apply here too.
