My chest and back are super oily. I've had back and chest acne for a couple years now. I've tried Black African and Acne Free products. I've even asked my doctor and they gave me an acne wash from Clean and Clear that did work for squat. While I was using the Black African products I've realized that that my acne goes away then comes back right away. Any suggestions?

Are you on tetracycline? Do you wash with spectra gel? I found that I used to have to towel down immediately after exercising if I couldn't have a thorough shower, since sweat makes me break out more on my back and cute areas that I want to have uncovered in the spring/summer. Differin cream clears them up beautifully, but it's a prescription, and s bit pricey, around $120.00 CAN a tube if you don't have a drug plan, but the tube is 100mls, and lasts me a year. A light Jessner peel 1-2 layers might do the trick, I'm bi racial, south Asian/Irish, and it is one of the few peels that is safe to use on darker skin tones, I've done 5 layers with no problems, just pink! Hope this helps a bits, I hate, hate Bacne!!

I have this problem too. Mine is from running a lot because I sweat and sweat can lead to break outs. I find that if I shower immediately when I'm done on a long run and use acne washes, I'm fine. If that hasn't worked for you though, you may want to check with your doctor again. Only use prescriptions that your doctor has okayed.
