How can I get rid of back/chest acne quick?
I've had back acne for a little while now but it's recently broken out pretty bad and it's broken out on my chest as well.It has come to my attention that back/chest acne is MUCH different from facial acne, so facial cleansers more than likely won't work!I'm trying to get it cleared up or at least reduced by the time I go to San Diego on Easter Weekend.Please answer only from personal experience or if you know more about this than I do.

You can get this medicated soap at the supermarket in the same aisle as regular soap.It contains triclosan or something else like that, but it works.Just use that instead of your regular soap and it will work in about three days if that is ok.Plus have a look at your diet for next time and try to eat lower GI foods.Not so many carbs.Food with protein and zinc help a lot.

st.ives.medicated scrub.you won't get instant results, but I haven't had back acne since I used that scrub..Acne is common on the back, chest, shoulders, and even buttocks of many people.It can be a sign of more severe acne when the lesions are large and painful.Log on to http://tipsfromruby-acne.blogspot.com/ for a few home made tips to heal acne .

Try lavender oil.Apply this oil on the back acne everyday for minimum 15 days or else apply fresh Aloe vera juice or the gel and wash after a few hours.When washing your back use a loofah, sponge or exfoliant to help remove any dead skin cells that may clog up pores.Use a gentle action and don't be too harsh otherwise you will end up breaking the skin.You should probably change your shirt twice a day to avoid bacteria buildup.Try http://solutionsforpimples.blogspot.com/ for more info.
