Acne on my back

[Dimebag_Darrell]

Ive noticed that over the last month my upper back area has accumulated a lot of acne. How the hell did this happen and how do I get rid of it?

You on steroids? ........and wash it

I love how everything on this board revolves around working out to some people. You have acne....of course it's because you're on steroids.

If you have started working out recently, it could be because of the sweat. Wash the sweat off as soon as possible and wear a workout shirt that absorbs moisture.

But most of all, try using a body wash with (2%) salycilic acid once, preferably twice a day. I use the Neutrogena Body Clear wash, the kind with the 'beads' in it, and that took care of my back acne problem. Be sure to also take enough vitamins and drink enough water.

And no, tanning for acne is only a myth. It may make the acne look better at first just because the skin itself is darker, but tanning in fact makes acne worse, not better, and no matter what anybody says, it only has negative health effects on your skin.

Please post in the right section. Also, try searching all titles for "acne" as this has been beaten to death; thanks.
