Back acne, gotta get rid of this shit.

[MaGilicuti]

I gotta get rid of this shit. I always get it even when off it seems. I plan on going to a party down the shore at the end of the summer and would like to not have anything that would disgust ppl on my back. Any suggestions?

hey bro, i used to get it quite a bit, i used some shit now called Phisoderm and i use this thingy i bought that has the texture a little softer than a brillow pad with handles on each end and is about three feet long, i can then literally "scrub" my back surface and my acne has been non existant, the problem usualy is you can't reach and srub the places completely enough, and this thingy allows you to do so, i think i got it at walgreens

I talked to a dermatologist about this almost 20 years ago. He said that 99.9% of the time when he got a young guy in complaining of back acne almost exclusively the kid wasn't scrubbing the dead skin cells off his back. He would tell the kid to scrub with a washcloth or a luffa every day... and almost every time it would clear up right away.

Hey bro luffa every day, get some 2%-4% Salicylin Acid or (Extra strength Oxy pads) and take cold showers through out the day with a warm shower in the evening leaving your shirt off so you can stay cool and rub the pads on your shoulders and back twice before going to bed + through-out the day. And make sure your not to hot or covered up too much while you sleep to keep from sweating. This worked great for me and was recommended by a Mod here and it took aprox. 7 days for it to start to go away. (You will see it dry up quick).

Take care,

P.S. Try to rinse off with cold water at the gym soon after workout.

If its bad, go to a dermatoligist. They can really help, its well worth it.

 

[MaGilicuti]

hmm, yeah I figured it could just be because I couldn't reach my back to clean it. Thanks for all those responded

I learned about vitamin b-5 for acne on this board

now Im on the preaching circuit.

Vitamin b-5 bro!

You'll see a difernce in 3-4 days, but keep taking it.

Ahhh someone else in the same boat as me!

here is what works for me.

take 2 showers a day, scrubbing ur back with an anti acne wash that has the little sand grit things in it- I use one by neutrigina(sp?)that works ok

Go to a deratologist and he can write you a script for BA 10%, i think it stands for Bacillic Acid- get someone to put it all over ur back (this is where a steady GF comes in handy) and let it dry for about 10 min before you go to sleep

Start going tanning, but DONT put any of the lotion on your back, just let it get a lil burnt, it dries up the oil in the skin.

in about 2 weeks it should almost be gone.

That being said, I'm a lazy shit, and dont follow all of the above often, so you could play connect the dots on my back. But when I got someplace to be, if I follow all of the above I'm all set in a few weeks.

Just make sure you get the real powerful shit from the doc, anything that you can get over the counter just aint powerful for your back- its mostly made to be used on ppls faces, so they dont want to irritate the users face...

later

I got the same prob bro.
I just finished a test cycle and my lower back is full.
I just started taking some B-5.
I'll let you know if it helps.

try to use some tersaseptic soap, it usually helps for me. If
this doesn't work, try some Desquam-X. This will burn the
fuck out of anything. Tanning will also dry them out and help
to cover them.
