Tretinoin for body acne and scars?

Hi, Ive been using tretinoin on my face for 3 weeks and there is some improvement. also, how long does it take before i see the full benefits?
I also have body acne and have been using a body wash containing salyclic acid but thats not enough. Theres no lesion or anything but theres quite a bit of blackheads and scars. Can I use tretinoin on my chest,shoulders,and upper back?

Thank you!

How long does it take baking soda to clear body acne?

I'm going to try apple cider vinegar when I get it in a few days, but I needed my back and shoulder acne to be at least a little better sooner. I tried baking soda (baking soda+water as a scrub in the shower) and it definitely helped, but not completely (which I expected) How long or about how many uses until this treatment clears mild body acne? Thanks
So far yes! It has improved my acne in one use!

Desperately looking for effective treatment for my body acne!?

I have body acne on the chest and back area really bad. I tried Nutrogena Body scrub and wash and didn't work. I tried that one spunge the luf_something sponge and didn't work in fact after this summer of using it I now have it on my arms really bad! I never had it so bad and now it spread and is on my arms and I think it might have been the sponge or something that started it! I desperately need someone who really dealt with this or someone who knows a quick yet affordable way to treat it! Proactive works pretty good on my face and I havent tried it that much on my body but its too expensive to try using that little bottle all over my chest and arms and back it wouldnt last long. Please someone help I am desperate!

whats the best way to PREVENT back acne?

i dont have acne on my face, but i have a LOT on my back, the chest isnt as bad though. and its really embarrising because now im getting zits on my neck?! Not all over but i've got like two, just near the top of my neck! I take a shower every single day and use body wash, i was using the nutrogena body wash to help prevent body acne but it didnt work, i recently started using clearasil face wash on my back and chest (i saw that suggestion on yahoo answers) and its been working better, but i dont know what i should do to prevent break outs in the first place? especiall where you can see it on my neck! you cant see the back and chest acne. thank you soo much.
Nobody in my family has had the same (:

Does body acne last longer than facial?

I started getting both when I was 13, and they started to get more sever at 15. I am now 16. I know that acne is genetic, and both of my parents never really had back or chest acne like I do. However, I know that many adults suffer through body acne their whole lives which is the more embarrassing than facial for me. Do they go away around the same time? And can anyone speculate when it will go away for my case?

Methods for fading/removing scars from body acne on the body?

I've had body acne (back, chest, and shoulders - the whole 9 yards) for about 4 years - and throughout all of them, I made the awful mistake of picking at almost every blemish I got. Unfortunately, African-American skin scars very easily from such damage. Just as unfortunately, I haven't really decided to do anything about it until about 3 months ago (March). I've been using Vaseline Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Cream just about every day since then. Some of the more recent scars have faded, but the ones that have been there for the whole 4 years are still going strong. Anyway, I would really appreciate any suggestions on what to do about this - products, herbs, anything! I've also been given the option to visit a spa in the near future, and any advice on what sort of treatment would help reduce scars would also be great.
