Anyone having bad acne problems,,,,,,,,,

I have really bad acne on my back my face is pretty much clear but my back is horrible. I have tried everything I'm using Pro Active now but I'm not really seeing a difference. What are you using and did you hear about this new laser surgery that clears up acne its been recently approved but I don't have much info on it. I have visited a lot of dermatologists and I have used pills and lotions nothing seems to work. My gown is obviously not backless but it is because of my problem with acne that I couldnt get one :o( Help!!

I tried Pro-Active, and didnt see a difference either.

I went to my dermatologist, and Im used Benzaclin.
It is an antibiotice cream, and I LOVE it. I also have very oily skin, so this dries it a little bit.

Try Clean and Clear Body Wash. It contains salic acid which can help clear your skin up.

I have a wonderful dermatologist. His name is Eric Fryer...also his wife Jennifer Fryer (they share the practice). I have recommended them to others who now love them too. I go to their office in Bayside but they also have an office in Huntington. FM me if you want their number.

Re: For years!

I too have bad skin and I have discovered Kiehl's and it seems to be working pretty good - I would definitely recommend it. Its the best product so far and I've tried EVERYTHING. Its all natural and not very harsh on your skin. You can order via internet at www.kiehls.com or if you live close to Huntington Scentsational in the village carries the line.

I also getting a facial every other month or so to help with the breakouts.

Any questions drop me a FM and I'd be more than happy to help!!!
