This is weird but I'm so insecure about it. I have to wear a halter dress tomorrow for show choir and I'm just really nervous/insecure about my acne. Is it bad? Should I cover it up? What can I do that will help to reduce any size or redness over night?

That's not bad at all! I used to have it way worse. :/ I agree with all the advice given above. :)
You don't have to cover it, just wear your hair down. It's not that obvious anyways, just don't think about it. Good luck in choir! I love performing. （＾∇＾）

Ugh I also have some, about the same amount as yours, and I have yet to find the solution. I find what calms it down is not wearing sports bras, scrubbing my back with a brush, and using an acne body wash on it. The one I use has salycilic acid and doesn't work so benzoyl peroxide washes would be much more effective. I have also gotten a back facial before which helps!

It's not bad at all! Trust me; I'm not just saying that to make you feel better, I'm speaking from experience. I had horrible, inflamed, cystic acne ALL over my upper back. You have NOTHING to worry about.

As far as treating it goes, I agree with the other girls. My number one recommendation would be to invest in the Dermalogica Clean Start kit. It's expensive but worth every penny.
