Hey ladies,
since I hit puberty (age 12) I have been getting acne on my body. I have about 3 small bright red dots on my chest at all times, my back is the same way. It's not really bad, but I'm very self-conscious about it. And since summer is coming I want to be able to wear tank tops and dresses without being worries about my acne. Anyone know of anything that will help get rid of this??

P.s. I would try proactive, but I've heard that as soon as you stop using it the breakouts are worse, and I don't want that

My cousin had the same issue and her doctor told her to use rubbing alcohol it drys them out. Not sure if that's helpful but in my honest opinion I'd go to The Body Shop and let them help you find something that woks for you. I know they have tea tree body wash for that. I use the Tea Tree Oil BLEMISH STICK for small breakouts on my face I'm sure you could use it on your back and stuff it works really good.

You're welcome. I kinda stumbled in there one day and found they have great skin care products. I believe they are all natural and what not which I really liked. 😉

Neutrogena has body clear body wash- when you use it in the shower let it sit on your skin for a minute before rinsing.

I went to the doctors and they gave me some steroids in a liquid form and that cleared it. Now I use tea tree wash on my back and once a week I use a tea tree scrub GENTLY! Try keeping your hair up, mine was caused by my long hair and products I used.

I had that as a teenager. Use the grape fruit body was by neutrogena. You can also buy some witch hazel and put it in a spray bottle and add a few drops of tree tee oil in it. Once your out the shower spray your body.
