Neutogena makes a body wash for acne. You might be sweating too much back there. Make sure you get something you can really clean your back with properly. It happens unfortunately.

lever 2000 antibacterial soap. my dermatologist recommended it.

did you change laundry detergents recently? my skin is very sensitive - I can only use fragrance free stuff.

I just got some body spray by Murad from Sephora for some back breakouts....can't tell if it's working yet, but it was recommended to me.

welcome to my life. Ive had it since my HS prom!!!!!!
its been a problem all my life and i always dread this season bc it starts to show. I try to go tanning bc it covers it.

Try going to your dermatologist!

I call it BACKNE! I have it too :(
It's such a downer. When I was pregnant with Hannah, I had awful cysts on my back and they still come now and again. I have scars now though - don't pick at them!!!

I have little bumps (keratosis, I think) all over my arms. I had when I was a kid and it came back -

Re: Acne on the body!

it is probablly from stress - plus winter dry skin. Sometimes I will have it randomly in the winter, but as soon as the sun hits it in the summer it goes right away. Neutrogena body wash is good too.

They have back facials - they cleanse your pores and get rid of dead skin. I would definitely recommend it.

Re: Acne on the body!

I had it BAD a few years ago -- was on Accutane, but my body couldn't handle it, so I was on antibiotics for 2 years! I have many scars Mine was severe and cystic, (nice, huh?). But if you have 'regular' acne, try the Proactiv, they make it for the body now and I've heard good things about them.
