Avatar n tn I have been having this random cluster of red acne like spots on the upper middle of my back. I'm not sure if it's acne or a rash from my laundry detergent? I've been using benzoyl peroxide acne cream but it's still there. It used to be raised a little like acne but now its all flat.

Avatar m tn treatment for acne. It is reserved for patients with severe acne which has not responded to other treatments, or who have relapsed after discontinuing therapy. It has many potential side effects but this must be balanced against the fact that 80% of patients experience long term remission from acne after one course lasting 16-24 weeks. Eloise.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn I never really had acne on my face let alone my back but now I'm beginning to break out on the back or my shoulders. What kind of products are safe/effective in treating that sort of acne. Not overly concerned just wanna control it if possible.
Avatar m tn I had back acne since my 20's.They get worse in summer and little better in winter.I am 25 now.Since last year this seems to spread to the back of my arm as given in the image I've posted in my profile.I have seen many docs,accutane didn't suite me.The appearance on these pimple/acnes are black and raised.They remain like that for years.I've changed my diet and that seems to help a little.But I am concerned what are those really? Acne/pimple/folliculitis?...
Avatar f tn So I went through puberty when I was 14 I grew 5 inches in one year and had typical acne it went away once I was done growing and I've had nice skin since then. So once I graduated I was 5'7'' its been 6 months and I recently got a face chest and back covered in acne and I've grown another half inch. Is this even possible for me to be going through this again?? and now the acne is twice as hard to get rid of. I do what I did before but my T zones are out of control.

393165 tn?1420760445 Hi, I have in the last couple of days broke out in spots all over the top of my chest, a little bit also on my back. They are as itchy as hell and feel like spots/acne but are sore as well as ithy if that makes any sense. I am 35yrs old and have never really suffered with acne when I was younger.
Avatar m tn Pt is a 23 yo Caucasian male presenting with a rash over the entirety of his back with blotchy concentration on the lateral area over the latissimus dorsi and solid concentration over the shoulder area. The rash is red in nature, does not itch, is not raised. The severity comes and goes without known cause, but remains constantly. Presentation began 2 months ago and has increased in severity since. Pt has no known food or drug allergies.
Avatar f tn I've got backne, face acne, acne on my shoulders AND my chest. Ughhh it's like being a teenager all over again.
Avatar n tn Hi, a couple of months ago, as the title of this post sugests ive started to get some acne mainly on my upper back and now also on my shoulders too. Cant believe it how it looks now and how it used to look (i was clear, and even used to make fun of my sister's acne on her back!). Damn puberty... =p What's the best product (cream or natural) that would get rid of these marks and acne effectively?
Avatar m tn ve had, burning mouth, lips, weird red spots on my chest, arms, and most recently burning acne (cystic) on my face--I never get acne except when i was a teenager. Lastly, I had bad night sweats for a couple weeks straight in October and lost about 6 lbs. Recently I don't have the night sweats, and I 've gained back my appetite, but still have constant dizziness and this weord acne and folliciltis randomly on my body (never had this before until my potential exposure).

Avatar m tn I had a back massage. The masseuse massage me with oil using her forearm and her BUTT... I have back acne. Later she gave me a mammary **** (titifuck) and hand job me. (We did not engaged in any sex Oral,Vaginal,Anal) here are my questions? 1. Is hand job and titifuck can cause HIV? 2. Is the massage risky, because i have acne? 3. She has no cut, sores, am i prone to other STD's? 4. Can the virus be contracted thru baby oil and be transmitted thru back acne? 5.
Avatar f tn I've had a bad outbreak of acne on my back, and it is unusual because I don't have acne anywhere else. it has appeared a little over two months ago, and I don't know how to treat it. please help!
Avatar f tn Have you been diagnosed with any thyroid disease? As this is a Thyroid Forum, I beleive a forum exists for dermatology if you would care to re post on that forum.
Avatar m tn OK, I made a stupid mistake of letting someone pick my back acne who had been picking her own and I did see some blood. I know she probably had some on her fingernails while picking mine. Mine definitely bled. This was 2 weeks ago. I recently found out that she is Hep C positive. I know how stupid the whole situation sounds, but I realize there is a chance of transmission. My concern is, HOW MUCH of a chance is there that transmission can occur with this situation.
Avatar m tn There is no risk to you of HIV or any other STD from having a masseuse sit on your back while giving you a massage. This is true even if you have open acne lesions present on your back and even if her genital secretions came through her panties and onto your back. You do not need to worry about this exposure and do not need testing. I hope this comment is helpful to you.
Avatar f tn Have you tried acne fighting products ? I recommend the Clean and Clear newest 3step acne cleanser. Or if OTC medication hasn't worked for you, visit a Dermatologist to see your options about medications and creams to help fight the out breaks and the boils.
Avatar m tn I am having Acne vulgaris on my face for the past seven years. Now I am 20 and I am Male. I used to take some ointments(clindamycin,benzoyl peroxide) but that had only temporary effects. Of late, I have started taking medications on the advice of a doctor who says that I have reached the Gr.IV satge of acne. It is given as follows: Isotretinoin 20 mg twice daily, body weight being 50 kg.
Avatar f tn Depending on the cause and severity of your acne, of course. I grew up in a place full of sunshine, and that just burned the acne right off until I outgrew it. We didn't worry about skin cancer back then, of course. You don't say if you adult acne or teenage acne, so we don't know the cause or severity. Neither are we experts here on your medication. But there are more ways to deal with it than just one. Peace.
Avatar f tn Symptoms are not diagnostic of HIV and this forum (or any other forum, or google) cannot address your symptoms. Get tested to know your status. You can test now for a conclusive result.
