If you spray witch hazel on your back n chest it clears it up within a week or so. It works wonders! Also exfoliate your body n make sure it's very clean.

You should also be checked for food allergies,breaking out all over can be a allergic reaction to something

I agree with these ladies... It sounds systemic rather than topical. So, antibiotics will be key. I'd also eat a yogurt with probiotics and drink cranberry juice so you replenish your good bacteria that's killed. It will take a while to work but it will do the trick! Also, get some good sunscreen if you go on accutane!

Sounds like me if I have way too much orange juice. Definitely seek a dermo for help on that one. Now just isnt the time to start reaching for products to get rid of it...you could making things worse. They will conduct a patch test to find out the allergen and proceed with a treatment plan once its discovered. It could a food allergy or even a laundry detergent reaction.

That sounds like either an allergic reaction or hives. See a dr.

Shelly, that was my first thought... Laundry detergent allergy. Try using a fragrance free and dye free Laundry detergent for a few months. All Free and Clear works well in my household (daughter has detergent allergies).
