Hello,
Back and shoulder acne are quite difficult to treat compared to acne on other parts of the body. Thoroughly wash your body everyday, especially the back and shoulder part using a back brush and frequently change your bed sheet, as it is conducive for bacterial growth. Engage in a diet that is low in sugar and fat but is rich in vitamins. This prevents acne by preventing the buildup of excess oil on the skin. Also refrain from touching or squeezing your shoulder acne.
Hi. Diet has not been proven to affect acne. When we eat, nutrients are carried to organs like the brain and heart first so your skin may not improve from a healthy diet.
Acne is caused by a sensitivity to the effects of androgens (male hormones) in our bodies. These stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce oil which causes spots. Acne is therefore "unfair"; people with healthy lifestyles can still get it.
I've been to about two different dermatologist because of my acne, for some reason they become VERY swollen and red. I had to change my doctor, because the first treatment I had a bad reaction to the pills he prescribed.
My second dermatologist just prescribed me clindoxyl gel. I've been using it for about more than a year now. I should have stopped by after 3 months into the treatment, however I couldn't, and now I feel silly going into his office after all this time lost.
I haven't heard of accutane so I don't know, sorry. Tetralysal is a brand of tetracycline, I just realised that minocycline is the most severe of the tetracycline brand. Is there any way you could try a different type under the tetracycline brand or have you already?
I don't mean to pry here but why did you come off the pill and what type was it? Like I said i don't mean to pry, I'm just trying to get the full picture.
Here is the stages of puberty I have noticed so far:
Age 13: I started to grow some pubes on my penis. I still sounded like a girl. No leg hair. I dodn't grow height wise at all.
Age 14: My voice started to crack and was getting deeper. I was growing really fast that year. I went from being like 5'2" to 5'9". I also grew a huge appetite.
Age 15: Sh!t started to turn ugly. I got uglier.
I don't know how your skin will react to Decutan, no one can tell you that. If your acne are still coming out then use the medicine your doctor prescribed you. Just don't get addicted to your medicine, when it's time for you to stop using them, just stop and don't worry about new acne coming. If you get all stressed and obsessed with that, like "OMG i don't use medicine anymore now they will come back", of course they will come back than.
You can try the proactive body wash. It really does work I've never had back acne but when i was younger i had face acne. My mom bought me the proactive and it cleared up. My little sis had back acne we got her the body wash and it reduced back acne. I've seen it work maybe it'll work for you as well.
Don't use over-the-counter acne medicines.
Don't scrub. Baby acne isn't caused by dirt. In fact, too much washing can further irritate your baby's skin, so don't overdo it.
Don't put oily lotions on your baby's skin. These can make the acne worse. Some parents report that certain non-oily creams have helped their baby's acne. If you try one, monitor how it affects your baby's skin, and be prepared to stop using it if it makes his complexion worse.
isotretinoin also known as Accutane, can be prescribed by a doctor, or contraceptive pills with cyproterone for females with virilization or drospirenone.

well i didnt consider id have a bad reaction to them so when i broke out with acne and then a rash around my mouth i thought it was due just to dry skin. i was wrong. i guess i had an allergic reaction i started them on a wednesday and thursday is when i broke out. my face is the only place that has gotten bad ive been using tea tree oil and its been healing all the acne and even some scarring but the rash is there. its like a lightish red patch. its just dry.
Another potential factor is that your body may becoming intolerant to wheat or gluten (yes, it can develop later in life and not necessarily as a child). You may want to start cutting back on wheat or gluten products to see if this may be the cause.
Meanwhile, don't use harsh acne products. Because we're coming into the dry winter season use a non-acneic moisturizer morning and night after washing your face with a mild cleanser. Good luck!
Is it safe to do so, or will I be increasing the likelihood of the
m getting body acne specially on my chest, back and arms. I started using antibiotic cream to stop the spread of body acne. But still, it is still evident.I'm getting body acne. My body acne are not that big but tiny reddish dots. Some are itchy but never been constantly itchy all the time. I never had fever or felt weak in the past weeks unless I was stressed out from work. I use body lotion and it seems to trigger body acne so I stopped using it.
I hate that you're going through this because I've been where you are and I am honestly still trying to overcome anxiety and worry. I saw a therapist once and she told me I wasn't that bad off and that I just needed to keep track of my worries in a journal and my negative thoughts to try and see where the anxiety was coming from.
