It's not over my entire back, just some ones on my shoulders, with some redness. It's not real bad, but it's still there. I know you guys are probly gonna say "omg, don't be an idiot nobody is gonna care", but it's still embarrassing. I wash it with BP, and have it under control, but it's gonna take a while for it to clear. My face has no pimples at all, which is good. Is there anyone else whos back isn't completely smooth? What do you think girls are gonna say?

Had a similar problem with my chest, but i used some acne products and it cleared up fast. I would recomend some treatment and tell you to take it easy for a while. I hate to say this but it does matter to chicks, i know from experience, so treat it well and make up some exuses if u have too...sucks huh...

I got the same problem occasionally. Face is clear back has the acne. I jsut wash it a few times a day to keep it dry but they occasionally pop back up. It started when I began lifting weights 8 years ago and seems to disappear if I take a month off. Weird.
I used to have acne on my face back in high school. I was fine when school was out and when it was in session the acne broke out. Do those people who have their faces covered with acne cause other people to break out?

Your taking roids arnt you LOL j/ks, sun bro sun it helps heaps, and get one of them body cleaning lotions and take a proper wash, like at least 20 mins or so, I take 40 min showers, but then again I'm a clean freak.

Acne has nearly nothing to do with washing or what foods you eat. It's got more to do with stress and hormones.

It actually indicates a high level of testosterone, that's why you get it when you take 'roids.

If you get it during school it's probably because stress is causing your hormones to go mad.

The only thing that I would say to avoid is touching your skin with your fingers, this can help alot. Over washing can actually increase a breakout if you don't use the right products. Soap is very bad. Try using an exfoliater first to remove dead skin and then a gentle foam wash.

See a dermitologist, acne can be prevented but only listen to skin specialists, not normal doctors or your friends. There is sooo many myths about acne that ONLY a good dermitologist will help. Take vitamin A too.

BTW - Back acne is normally nobular acne (I think that's the name) and it's completely different to face acne, there is a drug called RoAccutane (concentrated Vit A) that completely clears up ALL kinds of acne but the side effects are bad and it's very expensive.

As for if girls care, offcourse they do however the good news is they don't care nearly as much as boys care if girls have acne. Remember sometimes we look at ourselves and think that a girl can't find us attractive because we look at ourselves the same way as we look at a girl (through male eyes), not all girls like the pretty boy look, they look too feminine for most.

Remember look at all the holywood stars who have acne or bad skin, Keanu Reeves, Brad Pitt etc - They don't do too badly.

It can happen if you dont take "riods". Are you working out alot? As I work out more and more they show up more and more,but not to the point to where I will complain.

acne.org,

follow the regimen and your clear in a month for life as long as you don't skip days. I suffered from acne for years and tried everything not to mention three dif dermatoligists. Nonetheless, thanks to the power of the internet after visiting acne.org and purchasing dif products from my local walgreens i got clear in less than a month. I would suggest Dan's BP once a day while you sleep, Complex 15 for moisterizer, purpose fw/bar. it works on various areas of the body too.
