What to do about back acne?

posted in Society & Cultures |

Im a young adult with moderately bad bacne on mostly my upper back/shoulders. I had some acne on my face as a teenager but by my late teens it had cleared up… and migrated to my back apparently. I thought it would go away with age but it hasnt and I dont know what to do about it.

I have very sensitive skin and most acne cleansers make my skin dry flaky itchy red etc. even with just one use per day and using them every other day which is about as much as my skin can tolerate didnt work. I have tried Neutrogena products which didnt bother my skin so much but were pretty ineffective. I have also used Noxzema for sensitive skin since that used to work on my face as a teen but it wasnt all that effective on my back.

I do not sweat a lot and I shower daily taking care to lift my hair off of my back to wash it since I thought maybe my conditioner was clogging my pores. My hair does not usually sit on my bare back so I dont think thats it.

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations of products that have worked for you? Keep in mind that I have sensitive dry skin to begin with. I have not seen a dermatologist and would really rather not because of the cost but if it comes to that I will… it is embarrassing being the only person my age who still has acne issues.

Thanks in advance for your help

I used to be in your situation but my acne usually appeared on the tips of my shoulders so I was embarrassed to go to the beach.

I kept trying products until I came across a skin care treatment that finally worked for me.
They offer a free trial and if it doesnt work for you you let them know.
Ill give you the source have a try and good luck

There is this new popular cream that people have been talking about.

It was even televised on TV.

It prevents future and existing acne diminishes scars and lightens skin and

blemishes. Fast results too It has been claimed that major results can be seen within

a week and no later than two weeks

Before and After photos are available at the given ebay site.

This person is providing 13 week trial samples Only for ONE DOLLAR.. definitely a

deal on ebay at:

Search up best acne solution ever on ebay. First 100 customers can get the item for

1 for one week trial and up to 3 weeks. Or you can buy the whole container for 160

Its expensive but the product DOES work

My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give

it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.

I dont have a problem with acne but it seems to have great results on my sister who

has moderate to severe acne. Her acne swelling went away overnight.

I hope this helps.
