Ugh chest acne…. =[?
I have it pretty bad on my chest and somewhat on my back. I don't mean to gross anyone out, but I'm just looking for some help. I just started using a Nuetrogeana body wash on my chest and back every day in the shower (using a bath puff) a couple weeks ago and it's not really helping. I also started applying Aloe Vera about a week ago because I read that that is supposed to help...and it might be too soon to tell but I really haven't noticed a difference. My main issue is not being able to be seen in a swim suit because of it. Please help!!
soap and water was what I first tried and definitely did NOT work.

I suggest washing with a face wash, and putting benoxyl peroxide cream on the acne. It should go away soon..
I say face wash because, in my opinion, its better than soap. Hope this helped!

if you have oily skin aloe vera would make it worse, and what works good for me is just soap and water and my acne always clears up in a couple days

oily body wash, i dont use girls body wash anymore because of it, girls body wash puts like a coating over your skin, which is gross. maybe this weird, but whatever try using the boys bodywash old spice (: i do, and do i get acne on my chest ? nope not at all , or it could also be an irratation from the bodywash itsself.

you can go to a spa that offers skin care, like facials…they not only work on your face but can also work on your back and chest. i am a salon professional, though i don’t specialize in skin care, i do know that it makes your skin feel much better. u can do this as recommended by the specialist

ewwww you hideous troll!!!!
nothing gets rid of acne!! nothing!!! I have ‘mild’ acne and I have tried everything!!!!!! you name it seriously!!!! Maybe just forget about it. But isn’t funny how when you walk out of the house you can’t seem to find anyone else out there who has acne? Like I’m walking in the store and every ones skin is flawless!! ugh! sorry I really wish I had some advice, just when I think it’s going away, it comes back full force! My best advice though is don’t squeeze blackheads and pimples without a head, esp. if you have dark skin(dark skin scars) because it will just be red and swollen and take longer to heal than if you just left it alone, and always squeeze the pimples with a head because if you don’t they can leave a ‘pit’ Are you a girl? I think you are…maybe you’ll find a nice acne boy and you can fall in love, it’s not that bad:)

hey you just answered my question about the jerk that held my hand and then never called and i loved your answer so i really wanted to try to help you out now! (:
but all i can say is i feel your pain lol.
maybe you eat really unhealthy. definately try eating fruits and vegetables a lot if you don’t already, drink lots of water, and try working out. your body may be unhealthy. i mean i dont know you but that’s the only thing i can think of. hoped this helped! because your advice sure did.!
