Re: Bacne

I used to....I had many topical things from the dermatologist, none ever really worked....went on minocyclin I think and that didn't work either....I actually went on accutane for 5 months and it worked amazingly, and I had hardly any side effects--BUT i know many ppl do have bad side effects and it's a serious drug....you can NOT get preggers while you're on it or within like a year of it either....but if yours isn't as bad the topical stuff or the minocyclin might work!

Re: Bacne

Ok thanks...its not bad all the time just flare ups (not referring to myself either but someone who wishes to remain nameless!) Anyway I have heard acutane does wonders...my friend was on it. Thanks for your help!!!

Also I am referring to back acne! Lol!!!

Re: Bacne

I hear it's caused by sweating and wearing tight fitting clothes but, that may just be a guess. It doesn't sound right to me. My MOH suffers from it and she's been using proactiv and it's working for her.

Re: Bacne

i had it through my teen years, and still have an occassional light breakout. i never went to a dr for it, but i used to use a neutrogena acne wash for it, and it helped a lot.

Re: Bacne

I have bacne all the time too its so annoying. I've tried using body washes with salacylic acid in them and they never really work. I think I am going to have to make a derm. apt soon so I can make sure it is cleared up before my wedding.

I think it's if it's caused by this stuff than topical things work....if it's hormonal, than topical stuff won't really clear it up all the way and you need something more? I don't really remember, it was like 3 or 4 years ago.....

Re: Bacne

It sometimes happens, and if it's not serious, some astringent like Clean & Clear or Neutrogena could help. Also, sometimes it's some sort of allergy (it was in my case I think) to your body lotion, body wash, or some fabric, or even sun...

Re: Bacne

neither of us do but the same products are used that you would on your face - acne is acne no matter where it pops up.

Re: Bacne

I get this once in a while, I just use my face wash on my back and scrub it with a back scrubber, and it gets rid of it..

I would try Neutrogena acne body wash!! They have a scrub too!!! I have bacne once in a while too and neutrogena works for me. i also use proactive on my face so if my back starts to break out i often use all the products on my body too. I think they have a body wash line too. Look into it if your interested because they do work@

Re: Bacne

I also have this problem in the area where my sports bra rests... I recently started using a Clinique acne body spray which seems to be helping

Re: Bacne

jump in the ocean..saltwater and sun will dry those suckers up.

doxycycline works,too. I had cysts on my face.. 3 days of taking 1 pill a day cleared me right up.. i used to spend nights crying myself ot sleep cuz of acne.. its a miracle drug
