Acne on my back

Mandagirll11 · 05-16-2005, 06:19 AM

Hi-
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for acne on their back!! Im on glucophage 2000mgs and on a low carb diet which has drasticlly improved my face to nothing but my back isnt clearing up. I believe that my hormones are stablizing and always thought once this has happened, it would help. Any particular vitamin or home remedy that anyone has tried?

Hi!

I don't have the exact answers for you, but I wanted to ley you know that you are not alone. I get acne on my back quite often. Have you ever tried using acne treatment on your back?

Good Luck!

Thanks for the reply.PR.., no I havent yet actually. To be honest, Ive heard of so many horible side affects from chemical treatments, I never thought of it. I thought that it might just be a hormonal problem-having PCOS/insulin problems.
Has anyone used a treatment from a dermatologits and had any success?
I suppose at this pont, as my insulin is clearing up a little, so is the acne but still VERY noticeable..yuk.

I've used some of my acne products (I get them from AVON) on my back before and so far I have had no problems.

Since having PCOS my acne has gotten worse ... when I do get it ... I don't gte acne often, but let me tell ya, when she appears, she REALLY appears.

Good Luck!

Blessed Be
