Back and shoulder acne

Rx for Rosolla wash... (not sure of the spelling) but it helped me. Anti-bio also work but take a while to get into your sys. Sal-Ac wash will also help a bit but it wll dry the hell out of you. It's an OTC product.

Always wondered about Proactive.

Always wondered about Proactive.

Well don't - unless you're going to buy your own. I started using my wifes on my legs (I get tiny pimples on my upper quads in the summer) and it worked - till she ran out and was wondering WTF...funny stuff

Any tips on keeping a lid on breakouts?
I thought people used to take a low dose antibiotic when "on" to keep things in check....
Thanks guys

tanning is a big plus but there is a soap called LAVA soap it used when you have posion IVY iT works really good on drying out the areas that break out the most like shoulders and arms and also VIT -E also helps with the break outs

I had acne really bad on my back. Have your girl scrub the crap out of your back with a loofa or face cloth. then have her rub your back with alcohol or witch hazel. MOST IMPORTANT: change bed lines once every three days

god my first cycle i had acne soo bad i almost cried.. try b5, soap with benzol peroxide, tanning, change your shirt couple times a day, keep bed linens clean, and shower several times a day... the b5 will really help.. load up on it for a week and then take a maintence dose.. it worked miracles for me

Agreed!!! B5 has worked awesome for me.

After your done showering turn the water to bitter cold and cover yourself with cold ass water for a min or two....closed all the pores and keeps the breakouts down.....works for me.

yep, that and a few tans work wonders. I tan once a week just for about 10 minutes and it keeps me pretty clear.

Swim in a chlorinated pool. Similar to tanning effects as it's on the same line as drying out the skin.

B-5 worked great for me as well. It's pretty cheap, so trying it won't stress your wallet. One side you might want to watch for is diarrhea...at first, you'll be pissing out your ass, but you'll get over it.

Hi,

I had this exact problem The solution was Roaccutane from Roche. It dries up the sweat glands, and after 2-3 months therapy, your acne pretty much goes away.

There are side affects as it is a vitamin A dirivative and can be toxic so you have to have blood work done and avoid orals whilst on it.

It really does work.

I have done 5mg per day whilst on a cycle with no bad affects but the first time I was on it the doc prescribed 20Mg per day.

Google it to find out more about it. It is really the only thing that actually works for this condition.
