back and chest acne????

ok so i have acne on my chest and back and its kinda bad. enough to be embarassed to wear lower shirts.... especially since summers coming soon with bathing suits and plus im a swimmer so its embarassing to go to practice and stuff.

lol. well ive gotten my face acne under control but i cant find anything to help my chest and back. for my face right now im using the clinique 3-step. i tried using that on my chest and back but it hasnt helped. i also tried using the clinique acne solutions body spray and that didnt help either.

so anyone know any products that could help? ive heard mixed answers about using head and shoulders shampoo to help with this kind of acne.... so anything on that?

thanks!

Help! DRY IRRITATED skin Epiduo?

Ok, so i've been using Epiduo for about 2 weeks now. It's been clearing up my acne but leaving irritated, EXTREMELY dry skin. My dermatologists prescribed me to use epiduo once every night and Benza clin once every morning. I also use Neutragena Oil-free acne wash 2 times a day before i use the epiduo and benza clin. It leaves me with severe irritated and dry, flaky skin. I use a little bit of medication for my acne under my chin area and its also left a BIG red rash down my neck. it doesnt itch but feels alot like a sunburn. I've been using Aloe Vera 20-30 times a day on my face because im sick and tired of going to school and people staring at my face and asking "what's wrong with your face?" its embarassing and it bothers me. PLEASE HELP!
Foundation? Where can I get foundation (i'm a guy)

Please help me clear blemishes and acne fast?!?! ASAP!?

I might go to California tomorrow and I want to have nice skin. Which means overnight! But I have soooo many blemishes and they are very dark and my skin tone is light! I have some acne like many tiny bumps on my face. But people are just noticing my blemishes. It's sooo embarassing. Does anyone know any "at home" treatments to fade blemishes to make them less noticeable?! Or even better, make people not even notice them? I need help ASAP! Thanks!
