You can always try some lotion like vaseline or some sort. :)

Eat TONS of fruits and veggies and cut out ALL junk food because that really affects acne. Also, lay out in the sun and go swimming in chlorine as much as you can because that helps dry out acne too. Good luck!

Temporarily cover it with makeup.
matte mouse foundation or sheer cover should work.
or start using spot treatment and bio oil on them.
tea tree oils a good fast solution for spots.

i have the same prob…except a milder version (if that makes sense). I REALLY don’t know what to do. Though i noticed that if i washed my back with really cheap soap that made my back dry, then put hair conditioner on my back and THEN wash it off, that my skin is soft and that there aren’t nearly as many pimples as there were before. Though, the whole idea is to dry out the skin before putting the conditioner. I hope this helps :)

Putting makeup on acne is dangerous, it makes it worse usually, and it starts to come off during the night and looks gross. But anyway, try for a week straight (now) applying pro-active r something everyday, and see if there’s a diffrence at all. If after 2 weeks there’s no diffrence, wear a dress with the back covered, or maybe a halter with a big bow to ditract from the acne?

I had horrible acne on my back from the ages of 15-23, and never let anyone see it. I decided that I was going to wear a bathing suit to the beach on my vacation when I was 23, and I didn’t care who saw it. I baked my back in the sun for a few days, and a week or so later it cleared up completely and has never come back, except for an occasional pimple. Everyone knows that the sun is not good for your skin now, but it cleared my backne up completely. And I had the kind of deep pus filled acne. I think sunning your back might help. I had tried everything to clear it up, including going to a dermatologist and taking tetracycline.

Hydrogen Peroxide!…seriously sooo cheap and totally works for pimples!!….since it’s on your back I would take a paper towel and put HP all over it then get your mom or someone to put it on your back for u..u can even tape it on..leave it on for at least 30 min..u can even do it overnight..but I wouldn’t want your sheets to get messed up..so wear an old shirt and maybe lay a towel down…then just wash like normal..I hold a cotton ball with it to my pimples on my face and they come straight to the surface by the next morning..and I can either keep using it or pop them or whatever…
I use HP as a toner everyday..works the best for me so far! Good luck

contact a dermatologist- don’t try to fix it yourself! it’s your prom and you don’t want anything to go wrong. the dermatologist will definitely be able to fix your back acne for you by maybe giving you some cream or something! if you really do want to fix it yourself, be absolutely sure that it will work!

it is recommended that a Salicylic Acid soap be used. It contains beta hydroxy, which is used not only for the inflammationof acne, but is also effective at removing dead skin cells. Products like Clearisil and Pro Active have benzoyl peroxide in them. Benzoyl peroxide works by increasing the amount of oxygen in the pores. Acne cannot survive when there is an abundance of oxygen in the pores they are attempting to attack. If the form of body acne is severe, a prescription will be needed for treatment by a dermatologist. Some of the more common prescriptions are for antibiotics, Retin-A and Accutane.

I’ve been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne/pimples temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it’s at.
I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.
I’m 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.
Literally the best acne face wash I’ve ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It’s unique cause of it’s herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem.com at the time which was helpful.
You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn’t work it will still save you butt on the return policy.
Well good luck and best wishes.
