I do, but I also get on back and shoulders.
It usually starts as follows:
face, then back, then shoulders, then chest.
Schering have brought out an awesome cream that you rub on three times a day. it is doing an awesome job in keeping my acne under control!
I have tried everything but this cream is totally cool

I get acne in the order of back , shoulders , chest. My face stays fine.. What is the cream?
Anabolic steroids stimulate sebaceous glands - which secret sebum into hair follicles and skin and causes acne. This being said it is impossible to stop the process. Your glands happen to be more active on your chest!
Use a product with Salicylic Acid. Oxy, Noxema, and Stridex all make products that contain this. It is best to remove any oil (thus removing sebum) right after your workout. Your sweat is pushing the sebum and letting it sit and stew on your skin. You can buy pads that come in a jar and just swipe one over your chest after your workout (might take a few). This will help stop new acne from forming. Choose a cream, lotion, or gel with Salicylic Acid to use morning and night. It needs to be applied liberally to entire chest surface - spot treatment does not work with the acid.

I have used salycilic acid, creams, nizoral and all have worked to some degree.
This cream is called Skinoren, 1 gram contains azelaic acid 0.2g.
You apply the cream and massage it in to areas where you have acne and areas that it is likely to come from. It burns a little. You start off once a day just to see if you have any reaction (the burn isn't a burn but it feels like it is and it's real itchy). Then you use it 3-4 times a day.
I am currently using 2-3 times a day and it works great. Within days I saw major improvement! A tube would last me 5 days but I use quite a bit and it costs about $12 where I live (but I don't live in the US or Canada).
Definitely recommend anyone who has issues with acne to try this. Like all creams it may work for some and not for others. I am definitely hooked.
